Can lead be absorbed through the skin?

It always makes me nervous when I get lead all over my hands from pushing non-jacketed 22lr rounds into magazines... anyone do anything about this? can it only enter your system through inhalation?

    It can happen, but it's rare. Usually you breathe it in or ingest it.

    According to http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/hwtr/dem ... oison.html lead is not absorbed through the skin for the most part.

     

    Inhalation and ingestion are the two main ways a person can get lead poisoning, so I just make sure to wash my hands thoroughly before I eat or touch my face after shooting.

     

    Damn.. I guess I should stop my practice of eating baby back ribs while I'm shooting.

    No, you can use handi wipes so you do not get BBQ sauce on your gun.
