I'm not sure what penciel lead is. Eating pencil lead however is bad for you.

The so-called "lead" in pencils is not lead but graphite, WHICH IS HARMLESS. Anyway, it is also made of pure carbon, the exact same substance present in diamonds.
p.s. Pure carbon is a non-metal but lead is a metal. Don't get confused!

There is actually an eating disorder called pica where people get pleasure out of eating non-food things. Obviously you CAN eat lead, but you shouldn't.

yes... do some research on a little thing called lead poisoning. It isn't good to eat graphite.

Yes. The pencil companies actually hate children, so about 1 out of every 200 is what one might call a "hot stick".

you can eat them, but you will get sick. they use GRAPHITE in pencils now. But if you eat 1 from the 1960's you'll get poisoning.
