If lead pencils were the ONLY thing you ate, it would kill you in a lot less time than that.

The "lead" in a pencil is actually not the element lead, which can be toxic; it is graphite, which is powdered carbon. Eating one pencil "lead" is pointless, but harmless.

Does sucking on a lead pencil give you lead poisoning?
Actually, the "lead" of a pencil is not lead at all. It is actually graphite. If it were lead, you would get very sick and die from lead poisoning...and as tasty as that pencil tip may look, it probably wont taste good and you really shouldn't eat it. Nonetheless, the graphite probably wont hurt too bad even if you decide to eat it.
