How much lead do wires contain, and how harmful is it?

Question

I remember reading when I got a new keyboard that the cord contained lead, which is known to the state of California to cause cancer. Is lead in all keyboard or mouse cords, or is it also in power cords and other computer cords.

Also, how harmful is it? I work with computers and often come in contact with the wires, so if I touch the wires and eat without washing my hands is this harmful?

If I touch these wires and then go to the bathroom (I am male), am I putting myself at risk for cancer?

Answer 1

Lead hurts you from 2 sources, If you are a rug rat and chewing on the wood work painted with lead paint, If your a child and drinking water from lead water pipes. The lead solder used in computers was discontinued about the time of the 286 computer

your are fantasizing crap
