Lead, for example, has been shown to cause serious harm to the body if exposure is not controlled. All reloaders must be aware of the dangers of lead exposure and should work proactively to limit direct contact with this needed reloading substance.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some general guidelines on avoiding lead exposure during your reloading sessions:<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"border:0px; font-size:13px;\"><strong>Keep Your Hands Clean <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Always wash your hands when you\u2019re finished reloading. You can also wear safety gloves during the reloading process for extra protection. Washing your hands after handling reloading supplies ensures you don\u2019t carry lead around with you for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"border:0px; font-size:13px;\"><strong>No Eating or Drinking<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This sounds like common sense, but you shouldn\u2019t be eating or drinking while reloading. Not only does it contaminate your reloading space, it makes it easy to accidentally ingest lead or other harmful chemicals. <\/p>\n<h2 style=\"border:0px; font-size:13px;\"><strong>Keep Your Space Clean<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Use a damp cloth to wipe down your reloading station after every session. No matter how careful you are during the reloading process, lead will slowly accumulate in your workspace. Regular cleaning helps limit exposure by removing this built-up lead before it becomes a problem.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"border:0px; font-size:13px;\"><strong>Wear a Mask<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you use a dry tumbler for cleaning your cartridge cases, make sure to wear a mask when you pour the cleaning media out afterward. Lead from your cases accumulates in the dust and can be accidentally inhaled during this step of the process.<\/p>\n<p>Avoiding lead exposure is easy if you\u2019re careful with your reloading supplies and maintain a clean workspace.
