The only other data I have is limited: My wife had to have her blood analyzed for a number of years due to a medical condition. Game is 95% of our diet, the exception being when we eat out, which isn't very often. We use both lead and "non-toxic" shot and bullets, but would guess at least 3/4 are lead. The lead levels in her blood were considerably under the average for American adults.


Knew you would come thru John. Mine got lost on a old computer


That study tested blood levels, which is one indicator of exposure, but not of neurological damage that lead passing through your system causes.



Presumably neurological damage requires threshold blood levels.

It might be time to move this thread to the optics forum.
