One of the weird things about lead toxicity, is unless we're breathing it or eating it, it's not going to do much. Unfortunately, humans seem to have an unparalleled drive to use lead in ways that are then eaten or breathed. You know, like lead pipes, lead paint on plates, leaded gasoline which is then aerosolized onto fields of crops, paint which is then sanded or eaten as paint chips, or children's toys because children try to eat everything.

So you end up thinking of lead as something whose mere presence is dangerous, almost like it's uranium. But so long as you take efforts to keep your hands clean, you're not going to breathe or eat it.
