~~The fun thing about Pb is it's relatively safe in pure form. Unfortunately the oxides that appear on its surface are water soluble and love entering our bodies.~~

Just looked this up, apparently I'm completely wrong. Maybe I was thinking about lipid compatibility? Not sure now.

Hmm. Maybe you were thinking about elemental mercury vs methyl mercury? That’s a case where the danger (at least through ingestion) depends greatly on the format.

I swear that I read that white lead oxide is water soluble, thus happily sticks to your fingers and then gets on your food. I must be misremembering.

Maybe it was something about the solid lead object turning into an (oxide) powder that can then be easily ported as tiny particles on greasy hands? Hearsay science and safety information from me today :)
