Rubbing alcohol looks like water. Only small amounts are poisonous to children. It is also poisonous to adults, who sometimes substitute rubbing alcohol for drinking alcohol. Rubbing alcohol can also be toxic when inhaled. It should be used in a well-ventilated area. In addition, because it is flammable, it should always be kept away from open flame.
In more severe cases of alcohol poisoning the following can occur: choking on oneâs own vomit, breathing stops completely or a heart attack. Hypothermia also becomes dangerous as thereâs risk of brain damage. Also dangerous are when there are fits or seizures which happen when blood glucose levels drop to low levels. Extreme cases of alcohol poisoning are coma, sometimes leading to death.
