I also know that others do it. I feel better, as it's more personal. I feel as it's better training for self defence. Though, I was curious if I should worry of any lead poisoning, or if their was a better round, ect. Thank You for Your time.
Lead poisoning occurs when particulate lead, or airborne lead dust, is ingested.
The blood system carries it to the liver. Since lead is a heavy metal, it does not purge from the liver easily. You could, though I don't recommend the practice, swallow a lead bullet and it would pass through the digestive tract without poisoning you. Ask a physician, but no one has ever died from eating game shot with lead projectiles. Maybe for nothing bigger than a jackrabbit.
