Nic Liquid and Pets

[GoodDog]

I've searched the site but didn't find anything on the dangers of nic juice and pets. Maybe I didn't look in the right places. I'm interested in knowing the danger particularly if there is some on my hands from refilling a cart and I pet my cat??? Does nic dissipate quickly? I read that it does in the vapor but what about in liquid form once it's dry. Thanks

Nicotine is EXTREMELY toxic to pets!!! Keep it far away from them! I don't think there is danger in a little nic on your hands as long as they are not wet with it. But ingesting a small amount can make them deathly ill and possibly kill them.

clean up any spills immediately and keep your bottles out of reach.

There is a member here who lost his pup to a bottle (plastic) of nic juice he had sitting on his table. One moment of inattention and tragedy struck. The pup got ahold of it and died....so yes, Nic juice is very dangerous to small children and pets!!!!

SO ALWAYS KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN AND PETS! LOCK IT UP!

I have 3 cats ^x^..

I always wash my hands and dry them after filling my carts..

I wanna make sure that .I dont have sticky fingers

and ......i wanna pet my kitty's with clean hands..

it would rip my heart apart to know that i left nic residue on the fur, because they always lick them selves, they are always cleaning their furry wittle paws..

My cat is always jumping up in my lap and I try to be very careful about washing my hands after refilling, but sometimes I'll fiddle with a cart to get it working right and get a little juice on my hands. It worries me a lot!!! My pets are my kids!

Same here, GoodDog!!! Us pet owners, oh, and parents, too, have to be hyperaware of our nicotine usage and storing. My dog chewed into a used cart, but she was fine. I, on the other hand, had a complete breakdown over it, while she sat there staring at me as though I had taken away her favorite toy!!

Always, Always, Always wash your hands before touching your pet!!

Thank you for all the responses. I think we need to be vigilant about letting new members know how important this is. Maybe there should be a sticky with "Pets and Children" in the title?
