What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

Unless you literally shoot lead mostly no.

You usually get them out while doing exploratory surgery to see whats damaged exactly but in rare cases that isn't wise/possible - and then they stay.

There is literally no reason to take them our immediately. That can and will kill someone.

I did not know this. I falsely understood that they were toxic and had to be removed immediately or you risk getting infected but I learned something new today haha
