Is there a better way to go when handling lead besides soap and water? Go-Jo, Naptha or detergents?

What do you wash your hands with?

The sweat of my vanquished enemies and the tears of their oppressed children. No, wait, that's what goes into my cologne. Hmmm, what IS in my hand soap...?

Nitrile gloves and/or ironlion269's cologne are probably both effective, but be warned there is probably going be a good deal of whispering and odd looks wearing the gloves. As for ironlion269's cologne, well ... I personally wouldn't go there. In actuality the amount of exposure you get handling pellets and whatnot is minimal. Just wash your hands good with your preferred hand soap when done and you'll be fine.

OK so I have a question?
How many of you had friends that chewed tobacco?
How many of you put pellets in the same place as chewing tobacco?
How many of you know someone that died of lead poising?
How many lost friends to chewing or smoking tobacco ?
Just curious

If one were to believe everything written about the dangers of lead poisoning, none of us would be using it as projectiles!
Like all toxic substances, education is the key to protecting one's health. Read this: https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=STANDARDS&p_id=10031
The text doesn't give you any specific examples of removing lead from your hands, but scrubbing with soap and water is an adequate defense. But!... If you're sorting or casting pellets, or other activity were lead dust may be present, additional protection measures are required.

I wear the nitrile gloves. Then use baby wipes on my hands and arms, and...other places. Clean well and the baby oil in those things is good for dry skin and,...other things, just in case. Cleans lead and other metal stuff off my hands real nice. And when the large plastic containers are empty, they become pellet tin dunnage's!

Soap and water is sufficient. Lead cannot penetrate your skin, but you will want to avoid any transfer to your mouth such as handling food or cigarettes, etc. Ingestion is the predominant risk.
