Safety Precautions
While glycerin is generally considered safe for use, there are some precautions that should be observed to ensure proper handling and avoid any potential risks or side effects. Here are some precautions to keep in mind when using glycerin:
- Avoid ingestion: Glycerin should not be ingested in large quantities, as it can cause nausea, diarrhea, and other digestive problems. It is also not recommended for individuals with certain medical conditions, such as diabetes or kidney disease.
- Keep away from children: Glycerin should be kept out of reach of children, as it can be harmful if swallowed or inhaled in large quantities.
