Bold mine.
That is rare.. very. Unless one gets said slug shot into them... the kind of instant 'lead posioning' that kills.. slug's effect. Sometimes slugs are left inside a body.. with no apparent ill effects. I know of the old timers who shot tons of lead bullets in an ENCLOSED environment.. and they all tested LOW for lead levels.
One has be completely ignorant and careless to get real lead levels up.. like in the 2nd case mentioned.
