Generally, pencils are not deadly. However, like most things, they can be used as a weapon to injure or even kill someone.
The risk of lead poisoning is very low nowadays since pencils now contain graphite as opposed to lead. Occasionally, stab wounds from pencils can be damaging to underlying tissue and organs.
