Just for the sake of clarity: you have an item. It uses technology that you do not understand. It emits an eerie glow. Naturally, you cut it open and pour it all over yourself. Is that more or less what happened? In this case, you got lucky; you most likely haven't sterilized yourself (though I'd recommend you stay away from nuclear reactors). What you have done is gotten a fluorescent dye on ... well, whatever you put it on. Treat it like any other stain. (If you haven't already washed it thoroughly with water, that would probably be a good idea.)
The substance that makes a glow stick glow is called a chemical dye or phosphor. This substance is contained within the plastic tube of the glow stick and reacts with other chemicals inside the stick to produce the glowing effect when activated.
It's a chemical change--there's a glass ampule in the glow stick. and it's got one chemical in it. Around it is another chemical. When you break the glow stick the two chemicals mix, and the glow happens.
a glow stick can be a endothermic or exothermic reaction
To recharge a glow stick, expose it to a bright light source for a few hours. The light will energize the chemicals inside the stick, allowing it to glow again.
To revive a glow stick that has lost its glow, you can try placing it in hot water to help the chemicals inside mix again and potentially restore its glow.
No, but don't lick it off.
Unfortunately, there is no way to turn off a glow stick. The light from a glow stick comes from mixing two chemicals together. One chemical is inside a fragile glass vial, suspended in the second chemical. Whe the glass breaks, the chemicals mix and you get light until the chemicals finish reacting. There are military surplus stores and camping supply departments that sell glow stick covers. You "turn off" the light by dousing it -- covering it.
In a glow stick a chemical reaction occur; the energy is released.
Nothing... Just wash it off
When you snap a glow stick, a glass vial containing hydrogen peroxide inside the stick breaks, allowing it to mix with a solution containing phenyl oxalate ester and fluorescent dye. This chemical reaction produces light, causing the glow stick to illuminate in the dark.
The person who invented the glow stick is Thomas Edison
The glow of a glow stick typically lasts around 4-12 hours, depending on the brand and quality of the product. Once the glow stick is bent to activate, it usually cannot be turned off and will continue glowing until the chemical reaction is complete.

the glow stick is in the well ☺♥
you get the glow stick in the left hand side of the corner in the tunnel
