I in recent times resently accidently stepped on a pencil. Will the head be perilous to me?

its in the middle of my foot and was bleeding seriously.
Answers:
The 'lead' is truly graphite. It will not hurt. the dirt and germs on it mat though.
It's graphite, not lead. But you should have someone look at it.
if it be actually lead, i infer it might be, but pencils are actually graphite now, so you will be fine Source(s): i own dont that many times. sometimes it leaves a mark, but who consideration?
There isn't lead in pencils anymore. I stepped on one and have to have it removed. It jammed 3 inches into my foot. No problem. My daughter jammed one in her chin and the tip be in there for over two years until it be removed by a plastic surgeon. Her doctor said it would work itself out eventually but never did. She was fine!
Pencils are made of graphite instead of lead in a minute and I don't think you have anything to verbs about. I have a big piece of graphite within my hand. Its been near for eight years and I haven't had any problems with it. Its nice of cool I can still see it, I thought it would break down in my body.
Pancils do not hold actual lead "leads" anymore. The "lead" in them is made from graphite at present, which is not harmful to you.
No, pencils no longer have lead contained by them.

The "lead" is actually graphite...a form of carbon...the same carbon that you are made from...

I would be more concerned next to infection if it was deep adequate to bleed "a lot." Just make sure you treat the wound as you would any other wound.

You do not hold to worry about organize poisoning.
Wash it well, and put on some antiseptic lotion. The pencil front is not the dangerous kind.
depends how big the pencil was
Make sure your tetanus shots are up to date. If it's a deep puncture wound you should get one if you haven't have one in the last 10 years, if not you can get tetanus or some other infection.
