A member asked:
Is this statement true? "a single exposure to lead in adults typically isn't a concern if said exposure isn't of high quantities and doesn't proceed".
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but . . .: I'm told that a well placed .22 caliber bullet can kill. But assuming you're not talking about gun shot wounds, yet are still concerned, then ask your Family Doc to check your lead level.
