Answers:
no. i have plenty of lead in my palms. i can see them, theyre black spots under the skin. i asked a doctor and she said that graphite in the flesh just stays there like a tattoo and doesnt hurt you.

No worries, even if it is stuck in your hand, your body will force it out - like a splinter that dosn't get pulled. It won't cause blood poisoning or anything - it is not deep enough to do any damage.Health Question & Answer

Nothin' to worry about. They don't use real lead in pencils anymore. Maybe a few. But many brands use fake lead
