The majority of people, when they conceive of someone becoming poisoned by ink, picture them drinking ink from a pen. If you’ve consumed ink — for instance, by chewing on the end of a pen and getting ink in your mouth — you don’t need to be very concerned.

According to a statement by the World Health Organization (WHO), “ball-point pens, felt-tip pens, and fountain pens contain so little ink that there is not enough to cause poisoning if it is sucked from a pen. Some inks may induce pain in the mouth. It is possible that ingesting large amounts of ink directly from the bottle could cause irritation, although no cases of serious poisoning have been reported.

If you accidentally ingested ink, the World Health Organization recommends flushing your system with water and says there is no need to take any more action.

Ink poisoning symptoms

Ink from pens, markers, highlighters, etc., is regarded minimally hazardous and in such a little quantity that it’s typically not a poisoning worry.

Symptoms are often a discolored skin or tongue and, although unlikely, slight stomach distress.

Because of the amount of ink in printer cartridges and stamp pads, seek medical assistance if the ink from one of these sources has been consumed.
