Maxillofacial gunshot wounds and diagnostic tests for lead in the blood

We congratulate Edetanlen and Saheeb1 on their study of the potential association between people who have retained lead pellets after gunshot wounds to the craniomaxillofacial region, and the concentration of lead in the blood.1 The authors indicated the possible toxic effects in the soft tissues of the face,1 but we would like to add a note of caution.
