I might suggest lead-wipes for the table and kitchen surfaces after reloading there. (Y'alls IQ's are low enough already)
Funny thing, about 4-5 years ago when getting my annual physical, I asked my Doc to include a Lead Test in the blood work they do for a physical.
Results came back ZERO. Both my Doc and I were surprised due to the fact I've been hand loading for over 40 years and shooting for almost 70 (one more year and it will be 70).
Unless you are a bullet caster or shoot a lot of .22 in your basement with no ventilation, lead "ingestion" isn't all that big a deal for the average shooter, hand loader.
As for doing weapon cleaning on a table or kitchen counter, I always clean the counter afterwards. Was well trained by my wife (RIP).
Of all the people I know who have tested high for lead in their blood, most were bullet casters and a couple worked in indoor gun ranges where they swept up without PPE (Personal Protective Equipment).
