THis is primarily from shooting indoors. Washing up is fine, but you want to limit your lead exposure, stop shooting indoors. Even shooting jacketed bullets, the lead styphonite in primers is always there on firing & you are breathing that in. Most indoor ranges have minimal air scrubbing systems, it's just an unhealthy enviroment to shoot in. I limit my indoor shooting to about 4x per year.
