One of the top firearms instructors globally (Massad Ayoob) is utterly paranoid about lead -- he has special range clothes/shoes, changes before getting into his vehicle in the way one would do with hazmat-contaminated clothing, and has the stuff commercially laundered outside his home. I think it's mainly out of concern for children/grandchildren in his home, but it was pretty impressive.
I started keeping lead-removal wipes in all my range bags after this. The number of times I've seen people go through 500-1k rounds at the range in the morning during a class, then eat a sandwich or something without even washing hands, is..a lot.

- rdl 8y agoThis stuff, right? https://hygenall.com/shooting-sports/ https://hygenall.com/shooting-sports/ (I'm pretty much a 9mm shooter (124gr CCI/Speer TMJ Lawman 124gr, or Gold Dots -- or SIG Frangible when I'm at SIG Academy or TR; 5.56 ranging from cheap M193 to M855 to non-penetrator 62gr to 75gr or 77gr TAP or OTM/IMI Razorcore. I also run a fair bit of 12ga. Worst thing I do is a RH X95 bullpup, suppressed, in off-hand drills, which is basically all the exhaust in my face/neck area on every shot.)
