If you drank liquid nitrogen, your tongue, mouth, throat, face, and digestive track, and possibly also your hand, would be severely frostbitten. This is more than likely result in a horrifically painful death.

Liquid nitrogen would freeze any part of the human body it touched. That part would then become brittle and likely to break off; if it was somehow thawed, the flesh would probably die and necrosis would set in.

If you stick your hand in liquid nitrogen for a short time and take it out, nothing would happen (it just makes your hand really cold...). But if you stuck your hand in there for a LONG time, your hand would be SUPER COLD and NUMB, when you take your hand out, your hand will fall off.

You can briefly dip your hand into liquid nitrogen, but if held in too long, your hand would freeze, causing causing Cardiovascular difficulties, followed by death.

If you tried to smoke the frozen form of nitrogen, you would probably get frost bite, the nitrogen ice would rapidly turn to nitrogen gas, and you might collapse or die from asphyxiation.

Is liquid nitrogen supposed to be left on the skin after treatment?

Nitrogen must be cooled to a very low temperature to become liquid nitrogen. At room temperature, liquid nitrogen will change from the liquid phase to the gas phase. Therefore, if the skin is treated with liquid nitrogen, the liquid nitrogen will almost instantly become a gas and evaporate away from the skin. It is impossible to "leave" it on the skin, as this reaction is almost instantaneous and no liquid nitrogen is left behind.

Can the use of liquid nitrogen on your skin cause an allergic rash?

No. Nitrogen does not irritate skin. But liquid nitrogen is extremely cold, and it can damage and kill skin (and other) tissue. It is a bad idea to allow your skin to come into contact with liquid nitrogen. Note: Some warts are "frozen" in an effort to remove them. In a clinical setting, liquid nitrogen is sometimes used to super-cool an instrument so the wart can be frozen. But this is a medical procedure and is done by professionals. Liquid nitrogen is not something that should be looked upon as a "toy" or "recreational plaything" by anyone.

Is nitrogen used to burn warts and skin cancers off human skin?

Liquid nitrogen, which is very cold, is often used to freeze warts and skin cancers quickly so that they can be safely removed from the skin. This process is sometimes loosely called "burning off" the skin blemishes so treated, but it is not burning in the chemical sense. Any other cold liquid that does not adversely react with skin could be used as well, but liquid nitrogen is usually cheaper than any other available liquid. The chemical properties of nitrogen, other than non-reactivity, have nothing to do with this use of the element.


What will happen when liquid nitrogen leaks out of a storage tank?
