Ink and Its Content
Many believe that injesting ink in small quantities is harmless, however, this is incorrect and a dangerous assumption. Ink can be very dangerous to the health of the person who swallowes it. Several types of ink, such as printer ink and pen ink can be hazardous. Although it will not lead to death, ink injestion is responsible for certain side effects, for example: severe headache and damaged nervous system. These side effects come from a chemical called p-Anisidine, which is used in the creation of ink colour and shine. It was announced by the poison control centre that any person who injests ink should contact the poison control centre or a local hospital immediately.

In this modern world, it is very rare to find a house or an office that does not have any printing machines. Consequently, purchasing ink in cartridge or getting the cartridge refilled has become a part of the daily shopping schedule, identical to purchasing a bottle of ink many years ago.

Carbon ink and iron gall ink are the two most famous black writing inks in the history. These two inks will be described in the next blogs.
