Eli5: How is lead entering the body?

370 viewsChemistryOther

If there is Lead in like a chain or a watch from a country where it gets contaminated etc..
how does it trespass the skin barrier when worn?

Also can the lead somehow contaminate other materials it touches? (Considered the lead is on the surface of the material of a jewellery)?

Can’t it be cleaned of with a wet wipe or something?
