Hi there!
I've been following the thread kind of loosely on the digest, and
although I really have no way of knowing how much time you're
spending around a soldering iron, I would strongly guess that you
have nothing to worry about from even relatively frequent soldering
as long as you're not doing something wierd like soldering in a
small closet with the door closed for hours on end every day or
melting down spools and huffing them... :)
Solder's been around for quite a while, and I'm sure if there was
some sort of real health risk, it would have been common knowledge
by now.
I know tons of people including my father, uncles, and old co-workers
who have spent, cumulatively, months and months behind soldering irons
in labs and shops, and I believe they are all still entirely sane!
Kind regards,
Sean
