Answers:
Yep, you'll be mad as a hatter in less than a week! Ha ha, no you'll be fine; such small dermal contact with lead in its solid metallic form isn't a problem at all and will not increase the amount of lead which is already present in your body due to pollution etc!. Still, I wouldn't go sucking on your fingers, give them a scrub and forget about it!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I doubt your in danger!.
Just go wash your hands,and if you're worried about your keyboard, go buy some disinfectants,damp a cloth,and gently clean your keyboard with it!.!.with gloves or something,and throw the gloves out when done!.
That goes for everything else you've touched since!.!.!.if you really are scared!.
I would get rid of those crystal cups while you're at it- with your gloves on ofcourse!.

i hope i helped!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Below is a link to an article!. I would not worry about just putting dishes away!. Not enough time for the lead to absorb!.

Go wash your hands, and forget about it!. There are germs on everything and there is no way we can live in a sterile environment!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I wouldn't worry to much about that!. I think it is continuous contact as in drinking out of a glass, or as in children sucking on toys!. You can usually buy a little kit that will test things to find out if there is lead in themWww@Answer-Health@Com

i doubt it, just go wash your hands!.

and it's not like lead is radioactive like uranium or something!.

besides you get lead poisoning from being exposed to an unusual amount of lead!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
