Poisoning from antifreeze which today is usually ethylene glycol -- a clear, colorless, odorless liquid with a sweet taste -- that can produce dramatic and dangerous toxicity.

Many cases of ethylene glycol poisoning are due to the ingestion of it by children. They may take in large amounts since the substance tastes good. Alcoholics may also drink it as a substitute for alcohol (ethanol).

Ethylene glycol is itself relatively nontoxic. However, it is metabolized (changed) in the body to glycolic acid, glyoxylic acid and oxalic acid, which are highly toxic compounds.

There can be widespread tissue injury in the kidney, brain, liver, and blood vessels. The result can be fatal.

This is serious and must be treated by a doctor immediately.
