(They perhaps had been sucking on the lead(!) comb). :)
To digress, I've had lead poisoning as a child, and almost 60 years later I
can remember the agonizing headache and nausea.
Making a comb from lead was a foolhardy exercise, I hope Dr Walden didn't
suffer the same way.

The lead comb was played by a machine, not by Walden.

Besides, you couldn't absorb lead that way. It's the fumes that get you (lead oxide). Making hand cast bullets will get you.
