   Okay, suppose you can gargle molten lead. Why would you want to?

   How did he discover this “talent”. Was it consuming chilli eating birds while relocating.

   I can’t believe he really gargled lead. Even if he spat the lead out he would still be massively poisoned.

   Can’t imagine the tree surviving. Let see photos in 5 years.

   Actually, ancient Romans loved to include lead as a flavoring in wine. They were clueless as to its poisonous properties.

   The metal is probably not lead, but there are other metals (bismuth?) that look like lead and melt at body temperature. Also, the Romans drank water out of lead pipes, some think that led to their downfall and the following descent into the dark ages.

    During the Civil War, the soldiers liked to suck on the lead Minie balls, because they were sweet. They did not, of course, know about the poisons in lead. And just to make you even more grateful that you live in modern times, mercury was considered a wonder drug and basic cure-all; physicians prescribed them quite freely.

    Daffy Duck has had bad reactions to hot sauce. Must have missed the memo.

    Bismuth is pink, hence the color of Pepto-Bismol.

    The Amphora that held wine were made of lead. When the wine was gone and nothing but the dregs left.
    The dregs would be dryed and then scraped from the inside, and reconstituted with water, lead and all.

    He may play around with some low melting alloy, but all lead I doubt.
