How many people here do soldering (using lead solder)
indoors
with no way of
getting the smoke out of the house?
I've been doing it for well over 30 years and it hasn't killed me
yet...
-tony On a serious note, even lead poisining doesn't
directly kill you
but it sure screws you up.
Yeah I've been wondering about that for a while. I'm 40, been
solding (a LOT) since I was about 7. I've inhaled lots of the
vapors, handled lots of solder bare-handed, etc. I've heard rumors
about people having trouble because of this but nothing confirmed. I
sure wish my brain worked better; I have some serious complaints
about it, but I don't know whether lead could be the source of the
problem.
