Hand Soap, for Cleaning, D-Lead®, 8 oz., by ESCA Tech, Inc.

As shooters, we are exposed to lead practically every day. According to OSHA, "Lead adversely affects numerous body systems and causes forms of health impairment and disease that arise after periods of exposure as short as days (acute exposure) or as long as several years (chronic exposure). The frequency and severity of medical symptoms increases with the concentration of lead in the blood.

Common symptoms of acute lead poisoning are loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps, constipation, difficulty in sleeping, fatigue, moodiness, headache, joint or muscle aches, anemia, and decreased sexual drive. Acute health poisoning from uncontrolled occupational exposures has resulted in fatalities. Long term (chronic) overexposure to lead may result in severe damage to the blood-forming, nervous, urinary, and reproductive systems." And for children, it's even worse: "Exposure to lead can have a wide range of effects on a child's development and behavior. Even when exposed to small amounts of lead levels, children may appear inattentive, hyperactive and irritable.

Children with greater lead levels may also have problems with learning and reading, delayed growth and hearing loss. At high levels, lead can cause permanent brain damage and even death." And most importantly, from Kathryn Picoulin BSN, ND, PhD: "Lead is a cumulative poison that has an affinity for the neurological system, but damages all systems in the body by disrupting the function of enzymes. This is especially true in young developing children." "If lead exposure is allowed to continue symptoms of neurological damage, such as, learning disabilities, decreased attention span, mental apathy and mental dullness become more apparent." "It is estimated that adults absorb only 10 % of the lead that they ingest. Children absorb at least 50%. This is crucial since the brain and nervous system has not fully developed in the child."
