The entire lead poisoning thing is a hoax anyway.
If it does ANY harm at all... it would require daily exposure for years.
I can't count how many people I know with Master's Degrees in field like Chemistry, etc. that spent the youngest 20 years of their life reloading... casting lead bullets, breathing the fumes. They are all healthy... smart, no physical deformities. Good jobs. One guy I know used to play with mercury with his friends. They would swish it around in their mouths, and generally just touch it a lot... he has a doctorate and taught statistics at a university for years. Doctors used to use mercury to clean gunshot wounds.
If you have ever shot at an indoor range... you have inhaled a LOT more lead than this tiny cut will give you.
The entire concept of lead poisoning makes little sense to me. They discovered it because babies were eating lead paint that was peeling off the wall and those babies had a low IQ. If you live in such a shack that the paint is peeling off interior walls, you are probably very poor. You are probably very poor because you have a horribly low paying job. You probably have a low paying job, because you are too stupid to begin with to have a good job. The way I see it, babies eating lead paint is the effect of a genetically low IQ, not the cause of a low IQ. But.... what do I know.?
In any case.... this one cut won't do anything to you. Just avoid cutting yourself with the weight daily.Health Question & Answer

Lead poisoning is usually an accumulative poisoning such as handling lead objects with the bare hands for decades or like a child ingesting lead paint flakes which add up the lead intake far more rapidly. In other words just handling some lead blocks with a small cut one day is not going to poison you. But your teacher failed to use safety methods for handling lead. Gloves should be used to handle lead objects or as some ammo bench re-loaders do, use latex disposable gloves for small lead objects. Then wash your hands well when your done.
