In a brief Romanian dialogue, Speaker A references the tradition of using a grandfather’s copper still for making țuică, implying it is safe. Speaker B counters with a medical perspective, recounting recent cases of severe lead poisoning among patients who drank home‑distilled spirits produced in stills made from various metal alloys (lead, brass, copper). Laboratory testing revealed thousands of micrograms of lead in the spirit, leading to paralysis of the legs that only began to improve after chelation therapy. Speaker B emphasizes that home distillation should not be banned, but must be performed in toxicologically inert vessels—specifically, stills made of borosilicate glass or stainless steel—to prevent such health hazards.
