Blinding? Does it contain methanol? It only takes about 60cc of pure ethylene gylcol to kill you.
I was once doing some chemistry work in my friends apartment during college. I had a water jug filled 1/4 way with a mix of 25% sodium hydroxide solution. My friend who lived there had the same type of water bottles in his kitchen and decided to grab the bottle and drink directly out of it, unknowingly of course. Luckly, for him, the taste of sodium hydroxide is really terrible and he only got a small portion of of past his throat, just small enough to scream "what the hell is this," in his Zambian South African accent. I immdiately told him to get start gurgling vinegar. Turned out, he had to go to the university doctor who nearly decided to admit him to a psych ward for trying to hide possible suicide attempt. The problem was the he could not actually tell the doctor why the sodium hydroxide got into his mouth because at the time what we were doing was quite illegal. He got the third degree in questioning from the doctors and nurses there.

Yeah that happened to a bunch of kids in 1938 when some company used diethylene glycol as a drug delivery method ... :-\

There are much easier ways to kill yourself than drinking 25% NaOH :P. Silly kid ...



Moral of the story? Label your damn bottles :P. I have to label all my stuff at work with my initials, the date, whats in it, and the TH rating.

I have a lot of animals that live in my house. My girlfriend came up to me once and said she almost gave the animals my anti-freeze mix. She said she noticed the weird color and stopped herself in time. Since then I lable every bottle thoroughly.

Lesson learned. :beer:
