Aquairum Question about Lead

[Rollxr]

So had a question which I had, I didn’t really intentionally but I had sniffed my pencil’s tip which had an irresistible aroma and now I must exposed to a little bit lead, now when I will go near my aquarium to do tank work or something, my question was do I possess the risk of contaminating lead to my fish?! since I practically inhaled lead in my body

Pencils have never contained lead.

My bad, i had meant graphite, sorry, my main question was that can it harm my fish even when i sniffed them?

[Magnum Man]

you're good, nothing wrong with posting questions... this is a good place to get information

coincidentally I asked the same question about plant weights a couple months ago...

If you sharpen the pencil and go spear fishing, fish could be harmed.

The “lead” in pencils is graphite, which is just carbon. It won’t harm anything.
