Today at my school I was messing with this sketch thingy, the one with 2 knobs to twist up or down to draw, my friend decided to break it and when we broke it, this silver dust called aluminum powder got on my hands, I never knew it was dangerous cause your see, we never read the manual we just found it. About 3 minutes later he pointed to my hand and I saw blood. It kinda stung.
The aluminum powder found in an Etch-a-Sketch will not cut you, it's much too small. In fact it's so small you could only see it's edges under a high powered microscope. The cut was most likely caused by jagged glass/plastic when you broke the Etch-a-Sketch open. It's not unusual to cut yourself and not realize until someone else sees you're bleeding.
