If dry ice is held briefly, it is harmless. But, prolonged contact will cause the skin to freeze from the cellular level, causing injuries anywhere from a 1st to a 3rd degree burn.
This is because dry ice - which although is called "ice", actually contains no water at all - is really solidified carbon dioxide (CO2) can attain a lower cooling temperature than water ice, reaching levels as low as -78oC (-109.3oF).
It is necessary to always wear protective cloth or leather gloves when handling dry ice. Oven mittens or a towel will work as well.
If, for some reason an individual does come into contact with dry ice for an extended period of time, it is safe to treat the burn (frostbite) just like any regular heat burn. Apply antibiotic ointment to prevent any infections and apply a bandage only if necessary. See a doctor immediately if blisters appear on the skin or if the skin starts to peel.
