Why Tactical Grit

Lead poisoning occurs when lead builds up in the body, often over months or years. According to the Mayo Clinic, even small amounts of lead in adults can cause serious health problems including cardiovascular Issues, kidney damage and reproductive issues. Young children are especially vulnerable to lead. Lead poisoning can severely affect their mental and physical development and in high enough levels can be fatal.

Handling firearms, whether at a firing range or during routine cleaning, can expose you and those around you to lead and the other harmful metals that can cause poisoning. Those metals can be present in the primer of bullets, the dust created during firing, and the residue left on firearms themselves.

Now it is not only crucial to simply understand all the risks associated with exposure to these metals, but more importantly the most effective ways to mitigate these risks.

The most effective way to prevent lead poisoning is by practicing proper hygiene, or decontamination of your hands after any contact with a gun and/or ammunition. This simple yet crucial practice is a key step in ensuring a safe and healthy environment for everyone.
