Does anyone know for reals? Is it like leaded gasoline; the more you use it, the less it seems to matter? /s

    Only lick the soldering iron when it’s turned on. That way, the ouchies from the heat cancel out the ouchies from the lead poisoning. Trust me, I’m an expert at licking things other people say shouldn’t be licked

      I’ve heard that one set of nerves registers the ouchies from heat, and a separate set of nerves registers the ouchies from the lead poisoning… So you actually get hellfire ouchies instead of them cancelling out.

      Hey siri, how do I arouse a soldering iron?
