Glow Sticks

Glow sticks, necklaces, and bracelets are very popular items on holidays like Halloween and Independence Day and are also popular at concerts and birthday parties.  Children of all ages can bite into them or get the liquid into their eyes. The substance inside these glowing items is usuallydibutyl phthalate-- a clear, oily, colorless liquid. It is low in toxicity but can cause irritation to any part of the body that it comes into contact with, including the eyes, skin and mouth.

For Ingestion:

  • Don't be alarmed if lips and tongue glow for a few minutes.
  • Wipe the mouth with a clean wet washcloth; go over the tongue and around the gum line.
  • Give the child up to one-half cup (4 ounces) of water. 

For Eye Exposure:

  • Irrigate exposed eye(s) with a generous amount of room temperature water for at least 10 minutes.
  • Call the Carolinas Poison Center for ongoing irritation, swelling, pain or sensitivity to light. 

For Skin Exposure:

  • Remove any clothing that is wet with the liquid.
  • Wash exposed areas of skin well with soap and water.

Rinse exposed place with soap and water

But be careful with the eyes

If to the light your eyes are soon to bother

Check with your doctor; and don't be frightened with a sudden "conspicuous surprise". ;P
