Can you get lead poison from accidental stabbing yourself with a mechanical pencil? what actions should i take and what are signs of lead poison

Pencils : Pencils contain graphite, not lead. (not only is lead too dangerous and heavy to put inside a pencil, lead costs too much.) so you're not going to get lead poisoning not matter how many times you stab yourself with a pencil. (btw, you really shouldn't be doing that.) that being said, i agree with the other doctor who answered this question to make sure the stab wound is treated properly.

I : I believe that it's highly unlikely for anyone to develop lead poisoning from getting stabbed with a mechanical pencil, not that i'm recommending an experiment. It's just that there isn't that much lead in the pencil lead, if any (see wikipedia entry below). On the other hand, i think it's more likely to develop an infection from such an accident. Tetanus is way down the list but we always think about it so if you haven't had your vaccine in more than 5-10 years, it would be a good idea to go see your family physician & get your vaccination status updated. If you're really worried about lead poisoning, go see your family physician and get tested. It's a simple blood test to allay your fears. Good luck!
