The greatest health hazard from making shot is getting burned. Little burns on the hand are common but it is possible to have a serious accident. The second most serious health hazard is slipping on the coolant if you make shot on a concrete floor like I used to do. Ingestion or inhalation of lead is far less dangerous than getting burned of slipping. Of course it is possible to slip on the slick oil I used and fall on the operating shotmaker and combine to two greatest dangers.
For me, making shot was messy, dirty, smelly, time consuming and great fun. I gave it up several years ago.
