    Apparently in rats it didn't hurt them to pour it in their eyes.

    The safety instructions for most of the exposures boil down to "rinse it off you."

    Also: "After swallowing: make victim drink water (two glasses at most). Consult doctor if feeling unwell."

    It's propylene glycol. A generally recognized as safe, chemical. Nothing dangerous happened...

      Isn’t that notorious for poisoning wildlife because they mistake it for sweet?

        That's ethylene glycol, also used as antifreeze. It is metabolized to oxalic acid, which in quantity destroys the kidneys. Propylene glycol metabolizes into lactic acid. Too much of that causes CNS depression or acidosis. It's often chosen as a safer alternative to ethylene glycol.

      And it's water soluble, biodegradable and not bioaccumulative. If you're planning a chemical spill this is a good choice.

    Propylene glycol. Bad, but not the worst thing in the world
