Can you get lead poisoning from a no.2 pencil that broke off & went into your eye?


The piece of lead never came out.

Modern No. 2 pencils are made with graphite instead of lead, so there is no danger of lead poisoning from the pencil "lead". Although you may want to get it removed before it causes any other problems.

No. It's not lead.

no. The lead in a number two pencil is incorrectly named. its not lead at all, its graphite. Thereofre you dont have to worry about heavy metal toxcitity because its not even a metal, its a non metal element. I would be more worried about it physically hurting your eye then chemically.

no,but you can get an infection
in this day and age they dont use lead in pencils
