I reckon the main danger, if any, is from lead dust, when cleaning out piles of spent pellets from traps etc. I do this as few times as possible for this reason. There's the lead deposits on fingers used for loading and generally handling pellets, but depending on how anal you want to be that's it really. ATB. Pete.
