I accidentally got one by my fingernail, but it popped out a few months later.
What the hell? Do we have a thread full of epileptics or something?
I’ve never stabbed myself with a pencil. Now I feel like an oddball. I suppose now with ‘clicky’ pencils, lead injuries are decreasing. 
No lead except in my … 
I would have thought lead from a pencil would fester and work itself out like a deep wood splinter. It took almost two weeks for a splinter to come out of my palm. Got really sore and inflamed. I was just about ready to go to the Doctor when the splinter finally popped to the surface and I could grab it.
This thread may be old, but it’s not as old as the pencil lead in the palm of my right hand. I got it when I shoved my books and papers in my desk in science class in my haste to get in line for lunch. This was sometime during the 73-74 school year. It’s faint, but you can still see it.
I don’t but MrPanda does, in his thumb, for about 20 years.
No lead points in me, but in third grade I did stab my seatmate in the hand when he wouldn’t stop talking. He was gonna get us in trouble! It made an absolutely perfectly circular black spot, I remember.
He was too shocked to even say anything, so my method worked. The principal just told me not to do it again, and I hardly ever stab anybody anymore.
Left wrist and it was put there by a mean girl who felt stabby when we were about 6ish. 37 years later you can still see the results.
My husband does. A small blue-ish dot in his left thigh.
Is this an indication of age, like a pock-mark (on your upper left arm) left by your vacination? (1950s)
I think kids used to use sharpened pencils as a weapon.
I found a third one! On my chest, directly midway between my breasts. I don’t remember getting that one but it’s been there a good long time.
Top of my left foot, yep. Got it just walking across the floor in 9th grade; there was a pencil stuck in the carpet or something.
I have a piece in the web between my thumb and forefinger. Got it in third grade when I sharpened a brand-new pencil, and dropped it. The damned thing landed on its eraser, sticking straight up. It obviously had it out for me, and stabbed me when I reached down to pick it up.
Not knowing the difference, I was terrified that I was going to die of lead poisoning.
I have one stuck under my big toenail… don’t ask. :smack: Any ideas how to get it out? 
In my stomach, when I was in the 8th grade. It was Halloween. A friend and I were messing around before class and he stabbed me. My mother came and got me, took me to the doctor, who dug around and shot me with a tetanus shot. I went out for Halloween that night, and then came down with a high fever (I’m allergic to tetanus vaccine) and delirium that night. It’s the last time I ever got a tetanus shot.
I was a junior in high skool and was writing a letter to a girl fired. I wrote something down and got so upset that I stabbed the paper the letter was written on. The pencil went right through the paper and into my left index finger where the tip promptly broke off. Its been there ever since, about 40 years. Nice little bump with a black center. Doctor says that the skin in my finger grew around it, isolating the tip. I’m fairly sure it was not lead, rather graphite.
But its still there.
In my right foot, right on the base of my big toe. It was on the floor and I was swiping a tendu (doing ballet exercises) and swooshed into it.
Shameful admission: I told my baby cousin that it was the tooth of the Toe Monster which had broken off in there when I pulled my leg back over the edge of the bed Just In Time. In my defense I also told her what it really was (like within like five minutes when I realized she was freaking out) but her Mom totally fed into it. Long story short, she slept with her shoes on until she went to West Point.
Bad Celt!!!
*Note to those who may be freaking out, what’s under your skin is almost certainly graphite, not lead.
Can’t see the pencil anymore, but there’s still an India ink tattoo by my knee. Jabs were an occupational hazard for klutzy draftsmen, I guess.
I jabbed the palm of my hand with a pencil in grade six and the broken tip was there for years. Oddly, it came to the surface a couple of years ago and I was able to remove it. I can’t even find the scar now.
Yep, from 1976. Right calf. I was in front of the classroom, when a classmate, stood up and said " with an eye like an eagle" and threw the pencil at me… it stuck in my leg and just hung there, until I pulled t out.
He didn’t really think it would hit me, much less stick there. Something we actaully discussed a few years ao at out 30 year class reunion
Not a ‘piece of lead’ as in it broke off and stayed in the hole, but rather some graphite dust left when my younger brother accidentally stabbed me in the arm with a freshly sharpened pencil.
I had a fairly prominent blue dot on my right tricep until really recently, when it faded somewhat, but it’s still there.
Yup. Sitting in second grade. Kid ext to me is playfully jabbing me in the finger, and I am doing the same to him. He jabs a bit to hard, and the tip of te pencil breaks off in my right index finger. Bled quite profusely after the school nurse removed what she could. You can still see it under the skin.
