DRY ICE is all CO2. It is much heavier that air. It is 100% invisible and has no odor. It is a killer. I t displaces air in a confined space (closed up room for air conditioning). I do not know how far below ZERO it is.
Skin will freeze instantly to it.
It would be pretty hard to asphyxiate yourself with the CO2 coming off of dry ice. I spent much time with uncovered buckets of it working the the lab. Maybe if you had a sealed room with no air flow it could be a problem. Just a little bit of it mixed in your regular ice will keep it frozen. A few small blocks in the freezer will help keep a fridge cool. Just be sure to use gloves to handle it.

Ok, every one here knows I am on generator and is killing my mother's lungs.
Checked out Dry Ice but found it was CO2 and a man that knew ice just happen to be there.
He said cover all the bags in water then place a towel on top. Anything else? Like I don't want to kill myself with it giving off CO2 all night......
Just thought maybe some one else had ideas, etc.....ice melts way to quick down here.
