It freaking kills lol
Hi, if it's any help, pencil lead actually doesn't contain the element lead, it's made of graphite, a form of carbon. Just bathe your foot in some water and antiseptic a few times a day. Or if it's really deep or bleeding profusely, call to A&E to get it dressed. Take care.
You can't get lead poisoning from pencil leads - they are only called leads, there isn't actually any lead in them
oh ok thanks
it stopped bleeding in 2 mins and isnt too deep actually i think
hurts like hell to walk on though and hurts
what if someone had used drugs on it or they had germs on it?
i assume itll heal nicely and if it does get infeceted will i know and the docs can give me antibiotics? will it get all yellow and pussy if its infeceted
so scared ill loose my foot lol that calf hurts now to
and that whole leg hurts actually
Ok, try to keep perspective here! I havent heard of anyone using a pencil to use drugs! You probably have a fair idea of what to expect with infection so just keep an eye out for the signs. The pain in your calf i would guess is a result of you walking in a position that isn't natural for you if you can't put your foot down properly due to the injury. That's muscular and will settle. Just try to bathe and dress it for now.
thanks
i dont own anti septic but have used water
at work they have bandages just got a sock on now
also scared something is inside it as it didnt bleed for long x
ahh ruined my day lol
ive been really good lately to
It's ok, we are allowed bad days, i wouldn't want to step on a pencil either!
no you dont haha
so scared still that something is in cut
had to pull the pencil out
scared ill need foot amputation from infection
and that the pencil was dirty

I can see a black bit in corner of cut terrified that's pencil
Even if it is part of the pencil lead in the cut, it won't do any harm as its only graphite. Just keep it clean ( if you dont have antiseptic, use salt water instead ) and let the air get to it so it can heal quicker.
There isn't any way to take drugs with a pencil.
You aren't going to have your foot amputated, so don't worry about it.
Thanks mike it's very sore and inflamed from walking on it but it'll be fine haha .... Went to loo earlier bare foot to clear up young cousins wee on the floor she had an accident only 2 years old and trode on it by accident with foot cleaned foot with shower staight away but worried as cut got on it theirs always something lol feeling better today though thanks x

Keeping thinking I can catch tetanus from it to can't remember last jab would of been 8 10 years ago can't remember having one
Well I am not being funny but most pharmacists close at 9ish - there are always some 24 hour ones. Best to sort it out and stop the worrying rather than worry about it till saturday.

Wow that is unlucky. Have you cleaned it using an antiseptic wipe, and put some cream on - like savlon?
