just to be sure, you should have your physician remove it. I've heard of them just doing that kind of stuff with a general anesthesia right there in the office. if they won't have the hospital remove it or something, but i wouldn't leave it in forever.

if you havent died yet i doubht you will, although pellets are usually lead and u could get lead poison, but if the thing is still there maybe consider having it removed if yoru that worrie, ive had a piece of pencil lead in my had since grade school and i can still see ii, but im not worried about it either

Rust is caused by oxegenation, can happen under your skin. If it is lead you may want it removed, otherwise its fine.]], if it were going to hurt you it woulve by now, dont worry, your body adapted. People live for decades w/ shrapnel and bullets and all kinds of crap in themselves. Dont listen to first answerer.

that sounds horrible, but don't you think you would have already died in the last 15 years?! you sound safe, but if you're not sure just have a doctor check i out!
