Lead poisoning fears

[Matthew1233]

So I was going to gargle salt with warm water which failed miserably, I took the water from the warm tap. I took too much water and swallowed some by accident (a very little amount)

Now im worried because warm tap water may have lead particles and im not sure if my house has lead pipes and im worried about lead poisoning or other dangers from warm tap water.

I live in the UK (Northern Ireland, specifically)

Thanks for the help

Lead poisoning from pipes takes years of constant exposure to cause problems. If your house is built later than the 1970's it's unlikely to have lead pipes.
