Can swallowing a lead fishing weight have permanent health implications?

Asked by VoodooLogic (729points) February 12th, 2008

Fishing weights are bitten upon to tighten them against the line and allow the bait to sink. As a kid, I accidentally swallowed one. I’m 28 now, I don’t feel like it impacted me in any significant way. I never got around to investigating the issue.
