Then I must say there's no fool like an old fool.But the stuff is so sneaky. We have mentioned pewter mugs,lead glazed ceramics. My family had a very old English coin, bigger than the old siver dollar that was used as pacifier for babies for so many years that a larg part of it was markedly thinned. It was so heavy I don't think it was all silver.
Mercury is another hazard. I read a horrible case not long ago, of highly qualified lady chemist wearing gloves, spilled a mercury compound, that went through her intact gloves so fast, that in spite of immediate trip to emergency ward, she died.
