Arm Yourself: you're missing a trick coping with lead, you may like this.

It may be time for another evaluation. You sound a little adversarial. Your logic also falls short. You only heard one article, so you leap to the conclusion that there is only one supporting my position.
But you admit you're no expert.

Consider googling the risks of airborne lead at shooting ranges and see if only one article comes up.

If I understood what I read despite having no medical training, some sources online claim a blood test for lead exposure will only show lead exposure which occurred 24 hours previously.

I don't think Google is an expert either.


Nor ChatGPT or whatever is doing the writing.

If there are more articles, why are you focusing so hard on this one...

You stick to your one article and won't listen to logic,

Tell me, do you think the ammunition makers created Brass Encapsulated Base or Total Metal Jacket bullets because they read one article?

Try a Google search.  You will find a wealth of authoritative articles.

Lead only stays in your blood stream for, up to, 28 days.

That doesn't mean it leaves your system. It becomes deposited into your body's tissues and only gets naturally excreted very slowly.

Unless you are licking and eating lead every day, you are not going to die from MINIMAL the exposure you get at a shooting range.

The powder can vaporize lead. It can settle as a dust onto a gun and your lungs. The heat is probably incandescent at the moment of firing although the muzzle flashes on Youtube seem to have cooled a little by the time the bullet reaches the end of the barrel.

Hypothetically speaking, if you coated a light bulb filament with lead, do you think it would stay on the filament after you turned on the bulb? Especially if there was a strong draft blasting it into the air around you?

I am done talking to a brick wall on this topic. You stick to your one article and won't listen to logic, you are beyond reasoning and are only here to try and sell DMSA. 

Good luck

I can't sell DMSA. It is an FDA-approved medication for heavy metal intoxication. It's the real deal. And that's why no one should regard you as a heavy metals expert despite your claims of learning about it from your job.

Readers, please look up the proper way to take it. It's in the Physicians' Desk Reference. Or, listen to your doctor.

Vitamin Shoppe used to have EDTA but you have to special order it now. It's called "Cardio Chelate." It is also a for-real medication for heavy metals.

These are not herbal supplements.

Tell me, why would ammunitions makers use lead to make projectiles at all if it was so toxic to you? 

Why would they sell solid lead, un-jacketed, ammunition if it was so toxic and deadly?

People like you will buy it.

A medically untrained non-doctor's reading of some information on chelators suggests some of them have the ability to redistribute heavy metals because they don't necessarily always carry the heavy metals out of the body.  

A medically untrained, uneducated conclusion would seem to be to take them without alcohol or DMSO for at least a few rounds of chelation so the concentration of heavy metals in the rest of the body was lower than the concentration in the brain, before trying to enhance absorption. 

Some sources say EDTA should not be taken for mercury without DMPS or DMSA.
