Best Answer

You might get ice burns - very nasty. Do not let it anywhere near skin or eyes, always handle with the gloves that the supplier insists you wear. Do not try to break it with a hammer, bits can fly off and blind you. Also, it's heavier than air when it evaporates, so it can poison you in a confined space, especially a cellar.

Dry Ice is an object that can be dangerous when touched due to how cold it is. They release carbon dioxide so i recommend an incilator. If you do touch or hold dry ice long enough, it will burn you, even though it looks cold. It is known as a "freezer burn." Be very careful with this item.

It can cause burns along the digestive tract and then when it "melts" releases carbon dioxide which will be absorbed and taken into your body cells.
