    It's propylene glycol. A generally recognized as safe, chemical. Nothing dangerous happened...

      Isn’t that notorious for poisoning wildlife because they mistake it for sweet?

        That's ethylene glycol, also used as antifreeze. It is metabolized to oxalic acid, which in quantity destroys the kidneys. Propylene glycol metabolizes into lactic acid. Too much of that causes CNS depression or acidosis. It's often chosen as a safer alternative to ethylene glycol.

      And it's water soluble, biodegradable and not bioaccumulative. If you're planning a chemical spill this is a good choice.

    Propylene glycol. Bad, but not the worst thing in the world
