No question, I am living proof, although I think many on this list are afflicted too :)
Playing with mercury as a kid, Making lead army men from the lead we dug out of a pistol
range after hours,
Holding lead solder in my mouth and working over a solder pot for years as a service
monkey.
Not to mention the early transformers we drained the oil from, or the wide assortment of
flux removers,
freon cool sprays, electro clean washes and other cleaning sprays and solvents used and
consumed during the 60's and 70's,
It is a wonder most of us old timers are still alive :)
Any else remember we could carry our toolcase containing many implements of destruction
and toxic sprays on an airplane and only had to show a business card at security,
It helped to have a 465 scope on a the luggage cart with it when you pulled up to the
early Xray systems at security. Scope went under the seat and the toolbox went in the over
head bin.
Those were the good old days :)
