Metallic lead is reasonably safe to touch. Its lead fumes and micro particles getting in ur bloodstream through ur lungs or ingesting it that is the worry.
What a fuckin shitty comment hahahaha not that its a bad comment or any slight to you but there’s nothing worse than someone asking “should I worry about scenario, A?” And they get the response, "Worry about scenario, A? Hell na. Scenario A is nothing to worry about compared to scenarios B, C or D. They’re all fucking you way worse than you ever thought A was fucking you."🤣🤣🤣
So, if you’d like a little education on why the comment you replied isn’t nearly as dramatic as you’ve made it out to be, pull up a chair. Both lead and mercury are pretty damn safe to handle as metals in your hand. Getting inside your body is where it becomes a problem, where it’s able to form different, body-soluble compounds and become toxic. Your skin is constantly pushing itself out, so lead residue on your hands isn’t going to have a route inside unless you have cuts or lick your fingers. And even then, the lifetime accumulation is really insignificant with this method for non-occupational handling.
Vapors are the immediate cause of concern for OP. Ingestion (eating lead paint, eating food that has ingested/leeched in lead) is where it becomes dangerous faster. If OP is diligently washing their hands but huffing all the fumes, the cleaning is entirely in vain. So yes, that’s why it’s important to make the above distinction in regards to Scenario A being nothing compared to B, C, or D: treating for A is worthless if the other 3 aren’t considered.

Yours is the only shitty comment here.
