solder for pipes contained lead?
Nope. Solder for electronics us usually around 60% lead. You're
probably thinking of acid core vs. rosin core.

Yes, I think your right. Still, I didn't realize that it contained such
a high percentage of lead. Me thinks, I'll be more carefull while
handleing it in the future. Lead is absorbed through the skin if I'm
not mistaken.

Even handling cool boards, pricking yourself with solder points, can be
dangerous, if you do it enough.

The "light touch" when handling such boards is learned by experience ;)
I imagine most anyone who has learned how to sort though a box of computer
