has anyone been exposed to lead filled footbag for a long time and has no ill affects that you know of?
Basically im just wondering if lead filled footbags would have an affect on someone's health over a long period of time...a few years or so. I get cramps in my hand and stupidly think its the lead thats fucking up my hand and shit. my concious will never let me be at peace

Cramping isn't in the list of symptoms you posted.

Use your good judgement. If you're using lead in a safe manner, which wouldn't be a bad idea to read up on-you'll be ok.
My chemistry teacher(s) say so too!
yeah, i read somewhere that they used to use lead printing keys on really old printing presses and people where getting arthritis from the lead so they had a tool to pick up each letter and then i guess stopped using lead altogether.
But you're right. the way you use it can be the biggest variable. I rarely ever touch it with lead contacting my skin. The only way im ever touching it is with a layer of facil between me and the lead, basically only when its in a bag.

I handle lead everyday at work, get the dust all over my hands. I have not had any problems at all. Only certain compounds of lead can be quickly absorbed through the skin, such as lead acetate. Formed lead like shot is not easily absorbed through the skin. Kicking a bag around will create some dust, however not enough to cause any problem UNLESS you have a cut on a part of your body for it to enter or, you have it on your hands and put them in your mouth, nose, or rub eyes. Symptoms of lead poisoning by skin absorbtion resemble a rash and will also be painful in and around the affected area. Usually symptoms of poisoning via absorbtion are a result of chronic high level exposure (hands visibly coated for quite some time) and not acute exposure (little on hands then washed off.)
There are a multitude of MSDS (material safety data sheet) for the many different forms of lead, I am going by one I read reagarding lead sheeting which is more unstable then lead shot.
In all, Just wash your hands if you have a lead bag and you should be in much better shape than me.
Here is a MSDS of lead shot #8 This is the legal standard for the precaution of the type of lead in most footbags!!!! For comparison on the hazard rating, "health 2" is as bad as drinking windex, 3 would be huffing gas, 4 would be cooking meth and 5 would be about as bad as drinking a cup of gas.
