 [ Symptoms ] stabbed with lead pencil is there any danger [ Disease ] there is no lead in a lead pencil anymore just graphite so you wont get any lead poisoning assuming the area is not infected the only problem would be the possibility of a permanent black tattoo from the graphite i actually have one on my knee from being stabbed by a pencil in 7th grade i deserved it if there is a black stain in the wound this should be removed to avoid a permanent black spot that may be cosmetically unattractive
