Expected results from the blood lead level measures. Following the washout period and baseline blood lead level measurement participants will eat their lead-shot deer. Two to four days after eating lead-shot deer be asked to abstain from eating lead-shot meat and blood lead levels will be assed at 9, 18 and 27 days. These blood lead levels will allow the sample size calculation, based on the three potential washout periods, for a subsequent interventional study to be calculated.
