Girls LOVE shiny things...
Swallowing a lead bullet wouldn't be of much consequence, any more than having a lead bullet remain in your body (provided you survive getting the lead bullet into your body).
Breathing in lead dust (or lead oxide or organic-lead compounds) would be very very bad.
This also applies to drinking mercury vs breathing in the vapors over a boiling pot of mercury.
It's the lungs, nose, eyes, and tongue where the BIG problems are.
Don't smoke or drink or eat, don't pick your nose, don't rub your eyes, don't suck your thumb, don't breathe in case-cleaning dust...wash your hands and blow your nose after.
