have known some old timers that wish they never were around it the health they had in old age was not good because they were not real good about not breathing the toxic fumes...
What fumes? Lead boils at 3180 degrees F. It only gives out vapor/fumes if it boils. We cast at a max of 900. What fumes? Lead dust? It's dust is just as heavy as the lead itself. It settles to the ground almost immediately. Yes, you have to be careful while handling lead, or boolits. Just make darn sure you wash your hands thoroughly when you're finished. Clothing too.
