LANDER -- . . . .

an official with the Wyoming Department of Health said the Cowboy State will not be issuing the same warning to its residents, because state epidemiologists believe the effects are "very unlikely to be clinically significant." . . . .


While the CDC study found very small difference in lead levels for those who regularly ate animals killed with lead bullets "the elevated levels were not considered dangerous . . . ."
