I dropped a very heavy snow globe on my foot a week ago. it cut my foot. now my entire foot is blue from the bruising, but where the cut is has formed a small knot. i'm worried because the globe contained ethylene glycol?

Ethylene glycol is only toxic if you ingest it and the systemic toxicity occurs acutely.
