Do not touch it! Always treat dry ice with care. It’s extremely cold and can quickly damage tissue if you touch it with bare skin. Keep it away from pets and small children. Leave the box with dry ice in an open, well-ventilated area; the dry ice will harmlessly evaporate within 24 hours. Do not place dry ice in a closet, car, or any other enclosed space. Touching dry ice can burn bare skin and damage surfaces, so do not remove it from the plastic bag, handle it, add it to drinks, or put it in the sink. If inhaled, move to fresh air and call 911. If on skin, thaw frosted parts with lukewarm water and get medical attention. If in eyes, wash thoroughly with water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.
