Am I posined?
Yesterday I was trying to crack a glow stick and it exploded in my mouth. Only a little bit of liquid came out and I spit it all out and rinsed out my mouth. It burned my tounge..Does that mean it was toxic? Would I know if I was poisined by now? Please reply quick so I will know how to treat this!

Hello there,
The only way to be sure is to read the packaging for the stick.
A lot of the ones you use when you go camping and such, can be quite toxic depending on colors and the length of time they are designed to function.
Many of them contain phosphorus in concentrations that could very easily permanently scar you.
I have no idea why you cracked this thing in your mouth, but in the future please use your hand.

If it was a mouth glowstick, of course it's not toxic!! If it was a hand-glowstick then it might of been toxic but not to kill you. Especially if you rinsed your mouth out. Glowsticks have a chemical in them that make some people's skin/tounge ect. burn but its nothing to worry about. hope i helped.

You don't have to worry-they're non-toxic. The only thing they will do is taste really bad (that's why it fealt like it was burning) and your tongue might glow a little. You rinsed and everthing, so you should be okay.

You will be perfectly fine! It has happened to me! Don't panic!!
Love ya!

glow sticks are non toxic, so i wouldn't worry about it. just make sure that you rinse out your mouth really well if that happens again. you aren't poisoned.

I've had a lot of them explone in my mouth and nothing ever happened. Dont worry about it because its nontoxic and it isnt poisned. If it ever happenes again just rinse your mouth. Nothing bad will happen. ♥

*******EDIT*******
I just emailed you:
Okay, so I told you those little glow sticks are nontoxic, and I understand it DID burn.. so there obviously is chemical of SOME sort to make it glow. HOWEVER, *STUDIES* say these are nontoxic products. I looked online before I answered that, sincre I had a hunch, but didn't know FOR SURE whether they were nontoxic or not, and I came up with these:

"Glow Sticks, Glow Necklaces, Magnetic Flashing Body Lights are perfect for any occasion. All of our light sticks are non toxic, non flammable, and non corrosive.", taken from: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
If you're STILL unsure, read the box - it will DEFINITELY tell you. And if you no longer HAVE the box, check online for that CERTAIN brand.
Hopefully this brings you some reassurance.
If you have any further questions or would like any further help; don't be afraid to contact me.
