You are Absolutely Correct on this item.   A cloud of lead dust is suspended for a coupla feet above a vibrating tumbler.

ALWAYS keep the lid on w/dry media.

BTW, it's a good idea to get tested for lead every year w/your annual physical.   Hardly costs anything extra, and establishes a baseline for yourself, should you ever need it.

And--assuming your BLL is low (under 10micrograms/deciliter)--it will provide a certain Peace of Mind.

Back when I used to dry tumble I used dryer sheets to keep the dust down.
