What lead have you ingested?
I have been thinking about this whole argument about lead and it's supposed detriments to mental ability.
It started about 25 years ago when a very conscientious liberal cousin of my wife's asked what we were doing to protect our young children from the dangers of lead paint.It seems that my wife's cousin had spent untold $'s on lead testing and had determined that her new home was a toxic environment and spent even more $'s on removing or encapsulating the lead paint. By the look in her eyes I am not sure if she was shocked or just struck stupid when I told her we beat the kids for chewing on the wood work. Growing up we clenched lead split shot sinkers with our teeth, had lead pipes leading to our water supplies, chewed on pencils covered with bright yellow lead paint. Heck I used to carry lead 22 caliber pellets around in my mouth for my air gun. How has lead affected you? Scott S |

Lead can have a definite effect on the human condition, particularly when it is ingested at high velocity - say like a 158 grain dose taken at 1700 fps.
Other than that it is fine - I carried pellets aound in my mouth too and as you can see I'm completely norm... ***bdee bdee bdee** :JEKYLHYDE |

Before SS shot, I've eaten ducks, geese and pheasant that have died from severe lead poisoning. I spit most of the BB's out. I used to be able to write my name in the snow with my leaded "pencil". After SS shot, I could only "airbrush" my name. Now I can hardly make an X. And that's only if it doesn't fill in because of snowing faster. I think I need a lead supplement. Wes ... |

Darn Scott, you really are bored aren't you. :) As for the lead, I still have a small black place in the palm of my hand where I stuck one of those yellow lead pencils in it about 25 years ago and couldn't get all of the lead out. It just kind of crumbled when it got in, probably from the blood. And I remember biting on the lead sinkers and chewing on the yellow pencils seemed a normal thing to do when taking a test and thinking. I believe that every person in class did it. Ron :o |
