[QUOTE="clutteredcloset49, post: 823178, member: 85"]Not a chemist, or scientist. Just a person who grew up eating off of lead based enamel dishes. As did many of us here. Probably chewed on lead based painted crib, and who knows what else. Exposed to asbestos in the school ceiling tiles. Still in decent health. Basically with food items, they are not left on the plate long enough to absorb lead. However, I no longer store acidic items in my old dishes as they tend to leach the lead. And I don't want to ingest it. So will storing your soap in a lead base container possibly leach lead. Maybe. Question is how long will it stay on your skin? 5 minutes? More? Probably not enough time to do damage to you. You're not going to be eating it. Our world today, sensationalizes everything that is bad for you.[/QUOTE]
