Abstract
A retired teamster with abdominal pain and anemia was found to have lead intoxication presumably due to and old bullet in his ankle. Most lead particles within the body need not be removed. Lead solubility characteristics exemplified by this case cuase us to recommend that bullets and lead particles facing synovial spaces should be removed.Entities:
