    Nope, very unlikely. Unless you happen to have an allergy to either copper or zinc - both of which are unlikely - you should have no ill effects from handling brass. And, even then, there's no connection with potassium levels.

    Doubtful. If anything, brass is going to help keep you healthy; it's bactericidal and germicidal.
