Dry Ice: is it LETHALLY DANGEROUS?

Ha ha ha HAAA! (coughs) Some words about Dry Ice safety hazards.. This video isn't for kids. It's really suggestions for science teachers and physics lecture demonstrations. Dry Ice hazard isn't only frostbite. If you seal Dry Ice in a container, the container can explode. Doing this intentionally is illegal in some parts the United States. Also, don't thoughtlessly drink beverages that have Dry Ice in them 'cause even though it's heavier than water, the little tiny pieces can float to the top and you risk getting frostbite on your esophagus. My trick with chewing up dry ice... I'm willing to take the risk of maybe inhaling a tiny fragment, or getting frostbite on my gums, but you might want to avoid that one. If you have kids work with Dry Ice they need close supervision to avoid frostbite or any of the other hazards. So mostly enjoy my performance here with the dry ice but think twice before you try doing any of the ones in this video. Oh, you can get frostbitten if you touch dry ice with bare skin, but it's not THAT cold. If I pushed *** it, I would get "bit," suddenly get a sting, but as long as you keep moving, Well, it's a safety hazard but not THAT unsafe. Let's see how long before i get "bit" if I hold a little piece in my hand. ready... One, Two, Three... Ouch! Coke Bottle. And i don't know how hazardous this is; it's not very hazardous I'm going to take my Swiss Army Knife and poke a hole. And I've got the "Slab" type of Dry Ice here. So I'll chop it up into pieces small enough to get in to the coke bottle. wire cutters... even needle nose pliers... Because we want to get it small enough to fit into... the Coke bottle. And our other ingredient is hot water. HA ha ha HAAAA! (Coughs) Ta Da! Now, Carbon Dioxide on contact with water makes carbonic acid, so when you burp after drinking a bunch of Coke and your nose really stings... that is Carbonic Acid turning your mucus membranes in your nose, your nasal system, acidic. so you can see it's really really dangerous right? I've made these for kids birthday parties about the only danger that I can see is if you could let the kids get hold of some bottle caps that don't have holes in them. Also dry ice is very dangerous, right? Don't ever put in your mouth and chew it up! Only trained physics demonstrators should ever do stuff like that. (UNINTELLIGABLE) The secret is to spit all the little particles out fast before you get little frostbite bites inside your mouth.
