Question
I accidentally got some liquid from a glow stick on my face, and now there are small white spots around my mouth, and it’s painful. Do I need to go to the hospital, and how long will it take for the treatment to heal?
Answer
The liquid inside glow sticks is an oily fluorescent substance that emits light upon interaction, creating an aesthetic effect. Glow agents are chemical substances with certain toxicity. According to your description, since the stimulating of the glow agent is relatively low, it should not cause harm when it gets into the eyes. When ingested, due to the small amount of fluorescent substances and low toxicity, it should not have any impact. It is recommended to rinse thoroughly with plenty of water immediately.
