You're probably touching your face more when you have the mask on

Also don't gun ranges get pissy at maskers? I thought masks were "woke fauci demonrat cuck muzzles" or some shit

Stop shooting indoors, and use an outdoor range like the Lord intended.

dont fuck with lead regardless of blood pressure. it gave my great grandma dementia we suspect due to childhood exposure in an environment polluted with lead.

>>65076671
I will wear whatever the fuck I want and and communist faggot that tries otherwise will get acute lead poisoning

>>65076695
There aren't any near me. I used to go to a range that had heavy blowers blowing air down on you from above, but I switched a range a lot closer which doesn't have that. Maybe the ventilation of the new range sucks

How often do you shoot? My lead levels look fine after a few days of not being at an indoor range. 90% of your exposure is from inhaking spent primers unless you put guns on your bed/blankets and keep them around your food.

>>65076700
Childhood exposure to lead is much, much more problematic than exposure as an adult.

children absorb 4-5 times more lead, and their developing brains are uniquely susceptible, causing irreversible neurological damage, lower IQ, and behavioral issues.

For adults its just high blood pressure and possible kidney damage, which obviously is a serious issue but not nearly as bad as being fucked mentally for life.

researchers hypothesize there will be greater rates of dementia in people exposed to lead as children.

>>65076671
I forgot to mention that, yes, I'm a big face toucher

>>65076717
I shoot about every 2 months, but I do bring several guns and go through 500-1000 rounds each time

>>65076662
What water do you drink and bathe in most of the time, and where do you source it from?
Have you had your home water tested recently?

>>65076662
Did you get like this because of lead poisoning, or was your retardation a pre-existing condition?

>>65076743
That makes no sense, you must be chronically exposing yourself. Are you playing with dirty guns while you eat?

stop shooting indoors

>>65076662
Eat onions and sulfur rich vegetables. The sulfur compounds help chelate the heavy metals from your body.

>>65076662
>>65076743
Are you drinking tap water?

Wash your hands after and don't touch your face or eat and drink while shooting. You can also try adding in sauna sessions a few times a week. You unironically do sweat some of the lead out it's not a meme.

>>65076662
Wash your hands.
It's literally that simple. Wash your fucking hands before you put things in your mouth.

I frequently shoot at an indoor range because the outdoor ranges near me don't allow full auto (or FRT). I always wash my hands and face, first with D-Lead, then with soap, at the range bathroom right afterwards.

>>65076806
Thats weird, normally its the opposite.

Thats how it is for me, people with FRT were destroying the target hangers and hardware with FRT glocks and stuff. So they all go to the unmanned US forest service ranges now.

Sometimes when I drive by it sounds like war zone lmao.

>>65076662
the most efficient mode of lead exposure is by breathing it. i'm not sure face washing is going to move the needle if you're using lead primer.

the good news is that blood levels fall quickly after stopping ongoing exposure. the bad news is that it falls quickly because it gets locked up in your organs and bones where it will cause long-term problems as it slowly re-mobilizes.

The most common cause of dementia in western eldery is consumption of statins. You see, you need LDL cholesterol to maintain your brain and your muscles since your cell walls are made of the fat that is transported in LDL cholesterol. Statins are infamous for killing muscles and brain in the eldery. They are prescribed as a means to cut down on social security/pension expenses under the guise of reducing strokes.

If you have ever read a news blurb about "old man fell over in his home and could not get himself off the floor, rescued two days later" its about someone who consumed statins. A normal 80 year old man who is physically active and does not consume statins have no such problems.

Statins are actually derived from mold toxins and are equally inhealthy. There are much better off the shelf technologies available for vascular health and its even possible to reverse artherosclerosis with cheap means but thats never going mainstream.

OP should get a FFP2/3 mask with an exhaust vent. The vent is important as it makes it much easier to breathe out of the mask.

Second post best post.
It really doesn't matter if you swich to lead free ammo when everyone else is throwing lead dust into the air.

>>65076706
At least find a range with better ventilation then,.

Or commit to the bit and get a full on gas mask..

Well I'm 50 and I live on bacon and potato chips so we'll see how it goes. I'll keep running and backpacking until my knees give out and then I'll build an all-terrain Rascal with a pintle-mounted carronade.

Why do you think heavy metal poisoning is such a big concern?
Aside how it acts in your body, you can't get rid of it. Your levels will never drop. Were you shooting in a fucking indoor range? Eating after shooting/handling ammo?

>>65076900
That's such bullshit. It's on the level of being actively malicious advice.

You're fine, OP. Live your life. Having lead levels 3 to 4 times the "normal" amount isn't hurting you. It's never hurt anyone. The people who develop symptoms from actual lead poisoning have lead levels hundreds of times higher than that. Also, never ever tell medical professionals that you shoot or own guns - they make it into something they can "treat" you for every time. Heart disease? Better stop shooting, your heart can't take it. Anxiety or depression? Better take all your guns away. Arthritis? That shooting is hard on your wrists and shoulders. OMG you touched a lead? Don't you know that's basically plutonium? You hunt wild game? You can never be sure you won't catch a zoonotic disease. Little Timmy can't sit still? Maybe you should get rid of all those toxic guns and bullets. It never ends. Metallic lead isn't a fraction as toxic as tetraethyllead, which is what caused so many lead poisonings that the world freaked out over it. You have to intake a lot of metallic lead to have issues vs just a little of various industrial lead compounds because unlike those compounds metallic lead isn't very bioavailable. Don't scoop lead shot with your hands until they look grey and then eat a sandwich, sure. But don't buy into the propaganda that touching a bullet or shooting at an indoor range once in awhile is going to affect your life and health in any way besides doctors annoying you with doomsaying because it's become hip to blow everything out of proportion if the ends justify the means, which is a shiny happy gun free utopia.

>>65076717
Your lead levels don't decrease on their own you fucking retard, lead toxicity is cumulative and the numbers only decrease with chelation or plasma donation

>>65076662
Dumbass nigga. Stop using indoor ranges. Those places basically guaranteed lead exposure. And it doesn’t matter what you wear or the fact you’re shooting lead free rounds, everybody else isn’t and you’re being dosed by lead particles in the air.
