I only post this so that those that do take real care. Years ago we bought some parts from a small "mom and pop" brass company in our town. Our buyer told them to add alot of lead to make them machine better so the local company owner did. His whole workforce got severe lead poisoning!! He refused to put it in anymore and lost our business (because of this buyer). Now we won't buy anything with lead in it, LOL. Normally lead poisoning is hard to notice but the guys working at this place were in severe condition within a week or two.
Symptoms of lead poisoning can also be symptoms of other conditions. Symptoms include:
Loss of appetite and weight loss
Irritability
Tired, lethargic behavior
Vomiting
Abdominal pain
Constipation
Joint pain
Headaches
Trouble sleeping
Confusion
When the level of lead in the body becomes greater, more extreme symptoms may be seen, including:
Twitching and shaking
Convulsions
Paralysis
Hallucinations
Coma
I mention this so any of you that do make your own balls or bullets really take care with proper ventilation in preferably a garage or open area.
Lead poisoning is not nice. Take care you guys (or gals).
