How can lead poisoning be prevented when consuming game meat?

  1. Cooking meat thoroughly

  2. Using non-lead ammunition

  3. Eating only small game

  4. Freezing the meat for a week before eating

The correct answer is: Using non-lead ammunition

Non-lead ammunition is the best option for preventing lead poisoning when consuming game meat. Cooking meat thoroughly, eating only small game, and freezing the meat for a week are all good practices, but they do not address the issue of lead in the ammunition. Lead fragments from ammunition used to hunt can contaminate the meat and cause lead poisoning, which can be harmful to humans. Using non-lead ammunition eliminates this risk and is the most effective way to prevent lead poisoning when consuming game meat.
