Lead poisoning is serious.
If you shoot indoors, cast your own bullets or reload a lot of lead it is something you'll want to pay attention to and be aware of.
The majority of lead that shooters ingest is orally I am told. Simple things like washing your hands after shoting and reloading will help. If you shoot a lot in indoor ranges hopefully their ventalation is good. A closed range can be a real problem.
The only problems I have had with lead....and they were unpleasant were from reloading and shooting indoors. I know several bullet casters that it was a very serious problem for.
I shoot a lot more jacketed bullets because of my experience.
