Interesting thread and something of interest to anyone who eats a lot of birds I'd say. After a meal of wild bird I don't go to sleep at night fraught with fear of bodily harm but I definitely try to NOT ingest shot. Stomach acid has a low pH and will readily dissolve shot and put lead into the system and it doesn't take much to be harmful from what I understand.... which isn't THAT much of course. I have a copy of a study that a roommate did on duck ingestion of lead which has pictures of their livers... NOT pretty I assure you. They really grind it up in their gizzard of course... THAT's not pretty either as they really break pellets down. Anyone ever had a hair test done for lead? I've considered it just for grins. A neighbor has high Pb contents in his blood from working in a local industrial shop and is essentially disabled as a result and is doing some sort of scavenging therapy which is supposedly working to some degree. Hard to imagine that bullet survived the butchering in that elk! I've got the .45-90 bullets I've pulled from my moose on the shelf here. Their wound channel is not hard to trace for sure but most just go straight through and are not recovered, even out to 250yds.

It sure is comforting to know that Christmas tree tinsel is no longer made of lead foil... nor are the toothpaste tubes we used to suck on just to get the toothpaste smell on our breath so we could prove to our parents that we indeed had brushed our teeth... not to mention the airplane glue we used to sniff came in lead tubes too. No more lead pipes either supplying us with drinking water... no more lead in the solder we use to sweat copper pipes... no more lead in the paint used for domestic purposes. As a toddler I used to chew on the painted windowsills in our old farmhouse and on my crib too because the paint I could chip off with my new front teeth tasted so sweet (could only have been the lead in that old paint).
Have any of us been adversely affected by all this lead? I don't think so, but then maybe my thought processes aren't what they could have been

Hmmm... speaking of faulty judgment and thought processes Dean, perhaps all that lead is what causes the financially and socially deadly Parker disease?? I guess it's up the Chinese to make sure we get our Pb allocation from here forward.......

richard, what is that grey cowling on your plane. Is that put on to protect the engine? Also
I understand that landing a plane with skis on snow is difficult because you don't have any depth perception, is that true? I have a lot of hours in a skylane but landings were always on concret, grass etc. jvb |
