Ummm....don't cut the icepacks? :blink:

I'm curious as to how you got icepack goop on your pants.

Probably hit the pack to hard.

[raises hand] I've done it before.

Probably should just wash it like normal....if it was a disposable pack then it was just water and ammonium nitrate. If it was reusable, the stuff should water soluble and should wash out with normal laundering.

I was at a softball game when I had use one. I tried just squeezing the bag to break open the thingy inside. It didn't work so I just punched it and it went everywhere. Looked inside the medical bag this guy had and he didn't have any others. (dumb-arse)

So we had to use ice from someone's drink so he could go to the hospital (POV).

Ice packs have goop?

Was it a reuseable ice pack?

Okay since I have alot of this stuff lying around I had to go check it out and yes it is ammonia nitrate and water for the disposables. I looked on our home ice pack the not disposable and It really doesn't say what the blue goop is made up of. This is what it says in the note on the bottom. "generally considered nontoxic not inteded for ingestion" Um duh.

I was able to survive only by quickly opening a -simple- that's right.. simple! first aid kit and finding a "SMALL" ice pack.


I plan on sending an order tomorrow anyway. I need one more whacker bag to hold my BVM's and airway sh*t.

Only difference between me and elmo was that I'm #1 not red and #2 don't shake and convulse when touched. But I can talk like elmo when I get my voice back.

I remember blue goop from middle school. We were playing softball, a girl wailed the ball-boy I wish the ball hit me.. But she took off running and threw the bat TOWARD the pitcher. Flew past the pitcher, and I was on 2nd base, turned around waiting for the ball to be thrown to me... WHAP.

The bat hit me on the shoulder and side of the head, knocked me out cold. I woke up on a army pole stretcher with this goop all over my face and shirt. The principal/nurse thought the ice pack was instant (why it was in the freezer then-duh) punched it, and SPLAT. It blew up all over me. But they had one taped to my chin, TAPED to my head and in my hair, and taped to my shoulder.

I actually had a concussion, and was out of school for two weeks.

Before this though, I'd never seen the blue goop. Now I'd never forget the taste of it.

Had a disposable one leak in my bag, damn thing like welded my zipper on the pocket together, still can't close it at all.

Actually you need Diesel, or another kind of Fuel Oil to make High Yield Explosive, to combine with Ammonia Nitrate.

Only you would know this. And care. And have experience....
