There are also LEDs with a built-in "candle flicker" effect. This teardown shows how it's done with two dies integrate into the LED package: the LED and an ASIC. They also demo a circuit using a small flicker LED and an amplifier to control a much larger LED.

Here's the relevant safety guides from Stanford and MIT.

In short, if you do a lot of soldering, there are long-term occupational hazards from both lead oxides and rosin. Both guides agree that the main hazards are the fumes (workstation should have a fume extractor or suitable filter) and residue on your hands (wash hands with soap and water before eating).

I couldn't find any numbers on how much material is removed by washing, but every reference emphasized that soap and water are vitally important.
