If all bullets could not be removed from the gun shot injury of a man it may be cause poisoning by?
Bullets are lead, sometimes covered in copper, but getting lead poisoning from a bullet is highly unlikely. Lead quickly oxidizes covering the bullet in a film of lead oxide. Also, the body encapsulates an embedded bullet in scar tissue. Many people have lived for decades with old gunshot injuries. A much more likely complication is infection.
