Is there a health risk in handling lead bullets while reloading? Does anyone use gloves and face mask? I know that sounds really wimpy but is there any risk?
I buy a box of Latex gloves at Wal-Mart or wherever, sure beats trying to scrub oil and crap out of your fingertips. I don't use them when I load... I suppose I should.dogjaw said:I have a Dillon press, so my lead handling is done with the left hand. I started using a disposable examination glove on my left hand. No more scubbing lead off of my fingertips. Some people are alergic to latex, so use neoprene if you can find them. They work great while changing oil, cleaning up parts, or cleaning guns also.
Yeah, and if it's smoking or not I don't breath it, just plain simple. Like I said a dust mask will not hurt to wear and any or all of the other protective gear that I mentioned. I like the way that you say it, "You can never be to careful" and you can take that to the bank. ;D Thanks!moofy07 said:Hi Janott,
It looks like we have the same fashion sense. You can never be too careful.
