Dry ice can cause burns and frostbite upon contact with skin. The extreme cold temperature of dry ice (-78.5°C or -109.3°F) can freeze skin cells upon contact, leading to injury. It is important to handle dry ice with caution, using gloves or tongs to avoid direct contact with skin.

What happends if you swallow dry ice And what should you do?

Don't. It would hurt, and it would be difficult, since the dry ice would freeze itself to your mouth, or esophagus. If you managed to do this, drink warm water and then either throw up or burp like crazy, as the dry ice is actually frozen carbon dioxide gas, and you cannot keep the carbon dioxide gas in.
