No, you cannot get lead poisoning from a pencil. Pencils do not contain lead; they use graphite for the writing material. Graphite is not toxic and cannot cause lead poisoning.
If the pencil contains graphite lead, it is not toxic and cannot give you lead poisoning. However, if the pencil contains actual lead or other harmful substances, it could pose a risk of lead poisoning if ingested or inhaled in large amounts.
The correct label for pencil lead is "graphite."
Pencil "lead" is actually made of graphite, which is a form of carbon. The graphite is mixed with clay to give it form and strength. These mixture of graphite and clay are then encased in wood to create a pencil.
A pencil is made up of graphite, a crystalline form of carbon. The graphite is mixed with clay to create the core of the pencil.

Pencils have never been made from lead. They are made with Graphite, a form of carbon. So you can not get lead poisoning from a pencil.
Actually "lead" is compressed graphite which is really harmless
graphite ^ Wrong, that's another material used in a pencil which doesn't cause lead poisoning
No you cannot. Lead is not used in pencils, graphite is used instead. Graphite and clay is used and the proportion of graphite to clay is adjusted according to the hardness required.
Sucking on a lead pencil is unlikely to cause lead poisoning as the "lead" in pencils is actually graphite, not toxic lead. However, it's still not recommended as it can introduce other harmful chemicals or bacteria from the pencil into your mouth.

No, graphite in a pencil is not magnetic. Graphite is a form of carbon and does not possess magnetic properties.
Pencil "lead" is actually made of graphite, which is a form of carbon. The graphite is mixed with clay to give it form and strength. These mixture of graphite and clay are then encased in wood to create a pencil.
The predecessor of the graphite pencil was the lead pencil, which used a mixture of graphite and clay for the core instead of just graphite. Lead pencils were first developed in the 16th century.
