I remember when I was a kid and we used graphite pencils, and I remember a kid who stabbed another kid with a graphite pencil, they had to take this kid to the ER immediately because they thought it would kill him.

It makes sense that it would be a building material, and even used in Battery Technology, but when you hear about Pfizer and this being the main ingredient, that's some scary stuff.

This also makes me wonder now that we are on the topic, say they were to use this miracle material in concrete on roads, and now say a little kid is riding his bike falls off his bike and skins his knee on the graphite/ concrete, what happens to this kid? Will he die because it is graphite of course they're calling it graphene which creates the molecular structure, but it is still graphite which can kill a person when they are exposed to it.
