Not to be contrary here but I would worry no matter what my age. Any lead compound, an oxide/carbonate in this case, is a source of elemental lead. A good friend who reloaded for years was having health problems and a blood test confirmed a high level of lead. Now, I don't know how he was handling the lead pellets or keeping from breathing the dust when pouring into the shot container, etc. His solution was to stop reloading immediately and nowadays he shoots as much as previously but with factory shells. Just sayin …..
