Only two. I had too large a hunk of lead in the pot on the driveway. it tipped and ruined a lot of asphalt.
The first was when young, we cast ingots at the kitchen stove. Dipped a huge ladle in water to cool faster. I told my friend to just cool and no more but he went too far and got the cast iron ladle wet. He dipped it and it exploded to spray me with lead. I peeled lead off my arm and ran to the tub to run cold water over my arm for a long time. I never got a blister and have no scar.
If you meet the tinsel fairy, get to cold water fast.
NO a drop of sweat will not do anything or even some water. It boils away. Do not stick water under the surface of lead.
