BERLIN (AP) — German doctors say a man spent 15 years with a pencil in his head following a childhood accident.
Aachen University Hospital says the 24-year-old man from Afghanistan sought help in 2011 after suffering for years from headaches, constant colds and worsening vision in one eye. A scan showed that a 10-centimeter (4-inch) pencil was lodged from his sinus to his pharynx and had injured his right eye socket.

There isn’t any lead in pencils, mostly graphite.

Years ago I put a blue colored pencil up behind my ear. Went to go draw again and no lead in it- broke off. I looked all over on my desk, floor, etc. as I couldn’t figure out how it happened or where it went. 12 years later I had major head surgery.
