apparently, but it won't kill you.
Yes, the liquid inside a glowstick is typically a combination of hydrogen peroxide and a phenyl oxalate ester. While these chemicals are not considered toxic, it is still advisable to avoid ingesting or coming into direct contact with the contents of a glowstick.
Swallowing the liquid in a glowstick can cause irritation, discomfort, and an upset stomach. The chemical inside is typically not toxic, but it is recommended to seek medical advice if ingested.
The two main ingredients in a glowstick are hydrogen peroxide and a diphenyl oxalate derivative. When the glowstick is activated, the hydrogen peroxide reacts with the diphenyl oxalate derivative, producing light.
A glowstick undergoes a chemical change when the chemicals inside mix, leading to a reaction that produces light. This change cannot be reversed, as the reaction permanently alters the composition of the chemicals inside the glowstick to create the glowing effect.
Bending a glowstick is a chemical change because when it is bent, two chemicals are mixed together forming a very small glow but bright enough to see in the dark. The chemicals cannot be separated after being put together.

The mass of a glowstick remains the same when it lights up. The glowstick undergoes a chemical reaction that produces light, but the total mass of the components inside the glowstick does not change.
No, it is not recommended to refreeze a glowstick. Freezing and thawing a glowstick can cause it to lose its effectiveness and may damage the chemical components inside. It is safer to dispose of the glowstick properly after use.

yeah, just put the glowstick in the freezer, it wont glow as much but it lasts longer!
Putting a glowstick in the freezer will slow down the chemical reaction inside, causing it to dim or stop glowing temporarily. Once the glowstick returns to room temperature, it should glow normally again.

Chemo Luminescence makes a glowstick glow the way it does. It is safe for little children as long as they don't bend them or break them open. They should wash their hands immediately if they get any one their skin.
To turn off a glowstick, simply snap and bend it until the contents inside the stick are fully mixed. Once the chemical reaction is complete, the glowstick will stop producing light. If you want to stop the chemical reaction immediately, you can submerge the glowstick in a bowl of hot water.
There is no glowstick. The glowing green tube is a "fuel rod" for the Excalibur. It is broken and you have to find a new one. (see the related question)
