A member asked:
I was wondering is it okay if i put dry ice in my mouth but not swallow it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: Dry ice can cause severe frostbite and tissue damage if it comes into contact with skin or the inside of one's mouth. Why would anyone think of placing this solid form of carbon dioxide in one's mouth?
