The following applies to lead compounds in general Due to the poor absorbability via the gastrointestinal tract, only very high doses lead to acute cases of intoxication. After a latency period of several hours, metallic taste, nausea, vomiting, and colics occur, in many instances followed by shock. Chronic uptake causes peripheral muscular weakness ("drop-wrist"), anaemia, and central-nervous disorders. The information available suggests that an embryotoxic potential must be considered probable. Women of child-bearing age should not be exposed to the substance over longer periods of time (observe critical threshold).
