[QUOTE="gunsmith, post: 1006935, member: 53434"] Yes - I remember one of the few remaining California Condors died from lead ingestion back when there were only 6 mated pairs living in the wild. This was before the Department of Fish and Game stepped in and started the (highly successful) captive breeding program. Two other instances come to mind - dead coyotes found had indications of lead toxicity in their digestive tracts, probable cause of death or added stresses that contributed to death. Bullet fragments were found in the digestive tract of the other was cause of death. Some animals are more sensitive to lead toxicity than others. Mental effects are often somewhat or perhaps highly correlated to low-level, long term exposure to lead. Tetra-ethyl lead from leaded gasoline was a much more toxic form leading to mental problems, but guys who worked much of their life soldering radiators in poorly ventilated shops often had difficulty speaking complete sentences. I doubt a forum on the internet is a good place to start a discussion involving a lot of research in proving a topic one way or the other, and I realize that I have only given examples, not proof, but the preponderance of evidence would strongly suggest that you don't go inhaling lead fumes or swallowing bullet fragments.
