Answer #1

First off is it pencil lead? ‘Cause if so it’s not lead it’s graphite. And I’ve had a piece of graphite in my hand since I was six so around ten years. I did go to the hospital but the incompatent women couldn’t get it out. And I’ve had no issues with it. You won’t die or anything.

Answer #2

I have two peices of laed in my hand. It wont irratate you as long as it dosnt get affected you shoudl be okay. && a free tattoo really. But if you dooo wanna get it out all you have to do is use tweezers & get it out. if its really deep then put get soome neosporin && a band-aid && forget it.

Answer #3

That depends on how deep it went in.

If you can feel the tip, use tweezers and pull it out…if it’s too deep, you may need to go to the hospital.

Alternatively, if it isn’t bothering you, you can let your body work it out on it’s own, provided there’s no infection starting (keep an eye out for that).

Pencils these days are not made from lead but a graphite that is non-toxic. Lead poisoning won’t be an issue.

Answer #4

Thas what I meant …ooops. I knew that.
