Title: Chemical question
Post by: RedneckNoob on February 9, 2007 02:51 pm CST
Do you think that I would get sick if my skin touched a .2M of Lead Nitrate and then touched my lips and then licked my lips?

I don't think so, you probably had micrograms on your fingers which is not enough to cause any damage.. Just watch out if you get to work with Silver nitrate :lol: it gets in the skin and takes 1-2 weeks to completely remove it!

You can also try peeling the skin, it's very effective.

You can eat like 4 lbs. of the stuff and it won't hurt you.  Go ahead...try it.....make a pie out of it.   I like pie!

It looks like it is mildly toxic (http://http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_Nitrate#Safety)--but the lead content is all that really matters.  Don't use it for tooth paste and I think you'll be fine.

I asked because I was feeling really sick and I thought I may have to go home and stay in bed until the small amount got out of my system.

Keep away from plutonium and I think you'll be fine.  Don't eat that stuff like salsa, either.
