YSK some snow globes have antifreeze in them Why YSK: Antifreeze is extremely toxic to humans and animals. A dog trainer I follow lost two of their dogs yesterday because they licked the liquid that came out of a broken snow globe. Apparently the liquid is sweet so pets are prone to licking it and it only takes a very small amount to poison them.If you have pets (or kids) make sure you either get rid of your snow globes or keep them in a place they can’t be knocked over! If someone does ingest liquid from a snow globe, get them medical help immediately, the window for successful treatment is small.
