Will I get skin cancer if I have a habit of writing notes on my palm with ball pen?

Question

I used to take notes by record it on my palm as I always forget to take memo pad with me. And recently my friend advised me not to do that to prevent skin cancer as the ink from ball pen (including marker) will diffuse (absorbed into our skin and into our bloodstream thus poisoning our body. Is that true, will I have to worry about that?

Answer 1

No because if this wus correct, i would be sitting in a big hospital getting chemo.... its just a theory but u MIGHT get it (VERY SMALL CHANCE) if u have an open sore and u spill ink into it... but u would have 2 be a complete idiot (lol) 2 do that.

i personally believe datz all bull **** because as soon as i was introduces to pens, markers, and sharpies i wrote all over my self. Once i took a black sharpie AND COLORED MY WHOLE LEG BLACK.

so i think ill get the skin cancer be4 u do

Answer 2

Um, no.  Because ink poisoning is not skin cancer.

Answer 3

You would probably get some kind of "ink poisoning" I've never heard of getting skin cancer that way. It's usually from the sun .

Answer 4

doubtful but possible - cancer itself is caused by environmental factors affecting genes - unfortunately this means that almost anything in excess can influence it
