I hand-set a lot of lead type in a previous life, and I'm just fine now. As long as it's not aerosolized and you avoid eating or breathing it, lead is a non-problem. Just wash your hands. Of course, much lead was aerosolized during the era of leaded gas and kids ate leaded paint chips and those are huge problems.

Molten lead in a linotype machine might be an issue iff it creates lead vapor, but I'm not familiar with the literature on that subject.
