A member asked:
My husband went to the shooting range and then held our baby before changing clothes. will the gunpowder harm the baby? is it poisonous to ingest?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not likely: The gunpowder discharge on your husbands clothing would likely be minor in nature. So I don't believe your baby will be harmed by his/her minor exposure to the gunpower. But at the same time I would not be allowing your baby to teeth on a shell :) I do believe that it would be advisable for your husband to change his clothing to prevent any sort of long term exposure.
