Thread: RNZ Article About Lead Poisoning

I heard it live and the guy who had the big issue with it was carbo intolerant.
It sounds like game meat was a huge part of his diet.

Personally I just don't bother carrying out the shot up meat.
But I do eat a huge amount of game meat.

Just had my bloods done last week for an upcoming operation and now wish I had got the lead checked with the same blood samples.
Also an issue for those doing bullet casting.

Re close range lead bullets and pigs.
I got the impression that it might have been more of an issue with jacketed bullets at fast speed and there being microscopic fragments left along the way.
I have heaps of recovered projectiles and some look like they have been worn away and melted on the end, so expect they were tiny pieces that were still in there somewhere.

Dog gets the slightly shot and bloodier pieces so maybe she is more likely to have an issue !
