Worked with art supplies lead solder i came home and did wash and now clothes smell like solder is it possible for lead transfer and health hazards?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The most likely exposure to cause an acute toxicity would be exposure to lead fumes. This is common in battery and stained glass window manufacturing. Exposure causes: decreased mental function, anorexia, metallic taste, headache, slurred speech, kidney problems. If this is a one time exposure unlikely any concern, but if this has been repeatedly, you may need to see your doctor and get test.
