hi guys, I get poked by pen today. i don't think the nib went under my skin. i have received my tetanus shot previous year. will getting poked or stabbed by pen will cause me any disease?
Answers
That means youre relatively safe jotting down a phone number on your hand or accidentally sticking yourself with the pen in your pocket (although theres the danger of infection from a poke, of course.)
Referenced from:
The World Health Organization goes even further in dismissing the idea of ink poisoning. It lists pens under the heading products that are usually not harmful, in its Management of Poisoning: A Handbook for Health Care Workers.
However, theres a caveat to all this. Some inks contain tiny amounts of chemicals like phenol, ethyl glycol or xylene (usually used in permanent markers), all of which can be dangerous in large amounts, so youd obviously want to avoid ingesting too much of them.
But in case youre concerned about the toxicity of your pens and markers, you can check the Art & Creative Materials Institute. The organisation has a program that certifies items that contain no materials in sufficient quantities to be toxic or injurious to humans or to cause acute or chronic health problems.

Odds are good you’ll be fine, if you’re covered on tetanus,
