Lots, especially the cords. This person states around 90ppm is the limit of "safe". The food surface of this one was 180, the exterior 4751, and the cord at 14000. Even found some antimony (which I've never heard of before) and sounds like even a tiny amount is capable of giving you some really bad stomach issues.

Reply to TIL: Asthmador was an asthma treatment in the US in the 1950s. It was made up of 3 toxic/hallucinogenic compounds belladonna (atropine), stramonium (nightshade/jimson weed), and potassium perchlorate (oxidant commonly used in fireworks). One common delivery method for Asthmador - cigarettes! by Geek_Nan
There were lots of brands with lots of wildly different plants out there. One of the bigger ones Ive read about was the Grimault brand. Cannabis was a common ingredient, as its also a bronchodilator.

And by "real" he means full grain not genuine. 5 years doesn't actually sound that bad. Before I discovered full grain I'd get maybe 2 years tops out of a belt.
It also helps to get more than 1 and alternate them, and hang them up when not in use. As well as use conditioner on them.
