Are mechanical pencil lead refills really lead? a daughter of my aunt swallowed a piece of mechanical pencil recently .. she is too poor to pay for basic medical care checkup.Thus dear I really hope Yahoo users can help me answer this question. Thank you!
No, there is no lead in pencils modern day. It is likely that a combination of graphite and clay.
No, not really lead. It is a composite of graphite. Do not get sick.
I think they are made of graphite.
