Larry, as I am sure you know, ingesting metallic lead from time to time is not particularly bad for most mammals. Lead oxides are another thing of course.

Lead in humans in ND was a factual observation. That it comes from game seems quite unlikely. Pretty much end of story for us. Not that it was part of the story in the first place. It is simply a source for information about the distribution of lead in game animals. And that is a bit more to the point, no?

Now, since I know you, I also know that you are bright enough to have all of this figured out. So, other than figuratively kicking an ant nest to see what pours out, what's your point?
