As far as I know, as a combat vet, lead poisoning is the last thing thought about with enough in you to stop your heart and brain.

And I remember when there was an effort to change out lead for copper. You can reach copper toxicity just be eating food cooked off a non-treated copper pan. And the other part of these bullets are made with zinc. Zinc poisoning is just as deadly as copper. But if you can get to the ER fast enough so they flush your body in all openings fast and enough, you chances of recovery are good.

What a concept.

One of my paternal grandmother’s babies (who would have been my uncle) died from eating food that was cooked in a copper kettle.

This happened nearly 100 years ago.
