Because some of the most informed people are on these forums. And I am almost positive that someone on here had this type of thing happen to them before or new more about it than I did. I never thought they would break. But it hit his hat and broke and went into his eyes. They are fine now. Water was the main key. They are non-toxic and it burned his eyes for a while but we washed them out for 15 mins a piece with just plain water. I also called the number on the wrapper and they also told me what to do. Even though my son maybe only 14 this will be his 3rd year seeing PVD in Central Park. He gets the whole glow stick thing, just not when they break.
Thanks everyone for all your help.

Well, true, a lot of clubbers browse here obviously, but I would think a medical website, calling poison control (????), calling the hospital, calling a doctor, calling an eye doctor, or all of the above would have been better alternatives. either way, ya got the help you needed so no harm. |

I did all that. And then came right to the forums. No, there really was not harm. And I am glad about that. I have seen them break in peoples mouths and it doesn't look like it tastes good, but they do look funny glowing in their mouth. Thanks for your concern. |

doesn't taste all that bad....just kinda weird & plastic-like. Probably not the best thing to swirl around, though. |

My 14 year old was just playing with my glow stix and they collided and the stuff inside them just went directly into his eyes. I am not to sure of what to do about this. I rinsed them the best I could and put drops in them but he says they are still stinging the out of them. I need help. What can I do for this and has anything like this ever happened to any of you and if so what worked. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Kim. |

sake. The world has come to something when you have to consult the COR about this?

The only positive thing here is that the glowstick was non-toxic. You did the right thing rinsing his eyes out with water, and hopefully you made sure he didn't do anything with his eyes for a while after that (ie, scratching/itching them, etc.). However, I genuinely fear for the safety of your child if you chose to come and consult the COR before you even knew if it was toxic or non-toxic. Yes, you're correct in assuming that people here may have had similar experiences. However, do they all use glowsticks made by the same manufacturer? No. What might be a non-toxic glowstick for one person might be a toxic glowstick for another.
Also, calling the company that made them shouldn't have even been a priority. In any situation where someone is exposed to something that may or may not be harmful the first thing you should do is contact your local poison control center. Always. 1-800-222-1222.
My ultimate advice to you? Attend a first-aid class immediately. Here is a list of classes in New York.

On second thought, take some parenting classes as well. That's some high-class parenting you sure are showing your kids. 
Edit:
How did I miss that thread? :wtf: |
