I sanded the edge of the door for around 15 mins, wearing a mask, and with the door open for fresh air. Now, I dont feel any different, but it occurred to me last week that the door could have had lead paint underneath the layers and im worried now that I have untreated lead poisoning. I feel really stupid because Im usually very paranoid about this sort of things, asbestos, mdf dust etc.

Is it worth discussing with a doctor or would they just say that if I feel fine then its unlikely that any harms been done?
Unless you were chewing on the door jam...
