Oh Honey I hope your haven't been exposed too much!.!.!.

Lead poisoning can occur from something like this!.!.!.

"Eating or inhaling lead-contaminated dust or fumes!. This is a primary pathway by which lead enters the body!. Poisoning can occur when lead-contaminated dust particles are ingested or inhaled!. Children are likely to ingest dust through normal hand-to-mouth activities!. Adults are likely to ingest or inhale it when proper precautions are not taken during renovation or rehabilitation activities!."

Symptoms are abdominal pain, headache and damage to the nervous system (reduced sensation, etc!.)

You probably need to have a blood test at the doctor's office to see if you were exposed!.!.!.and wear a mask from now on when you are doing things like this!.!.!.(you make jewelry!?)

Good luck and I hope you feel OK today!.!.!.you'll be alright, don't worry too much!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
