So I recently did a blood test, and got back some abnormal results… and that led me to remember the fact that I have a pencil lead stuck in my palm (back in my primary school days, we actually used pencils… thick lead, not skinny ones for mechanical pencils). Afterall, one of the rarer cause for my type of abnormal blood is “lead poisoning”… so um… maybe I should panick…
So today I finally searched the net for information about lead poisoning caused by pencil leads. It turns out that pencil leads are not made with lead anymore, but graphite? And apparently lots of people get pencil leads stuck in their body parts. So I guess I’m still OK…
(Let’s pray that pencil leads used in Hong Kong in the late-1980’s were really made of graphite)
