    Pencils haven't used lead in almost a century. Pencils use graphite which is just really thin sheets of carbon atoms arranged in lattice. Graphite is for all intents and purposes harmless to humans.

    On the shell, and pencils use graphite - they haven't used lead for ages.

    I can't imagine trying to write on an egg itself with either kind of pencil.
