I couple of Halloweens ago, I thought it would be cool to have glowing hands to pass out Halloween candy to the kiddo's. As you say, the stuff in the sicks reads "non-toxic" so I cut open a half dozen of them, poured the stuff into a big bowl and then reached in and rubbed it all over my hands.
Arrrrgghhh!!! I forgot one thing. When you "snap" a light stick to activate it what you are really doing is shattering a small glass vial that holds the reactant. So the glowing liquid is filled with tiny shards of glass. I spent the next 20min pulling bits of glass out of my hands.....
