not leave individual unattended.
Physician鈥檚 Note: Glycerine may be absorbed in potentially harmful
amounts if applied in large quantities to severe burns over large areas of the
body. This can result in elevated serum osmolality and subsequent osmotic
shock. Preexisting disorders of the following organs (or organ systems) may
be aggravated by exposure to this material: lung (for example, asthma-like
conditions).
