To point out:
1 Known Nicotine death - suicide by lethal injection
Nicotine ingestion overdose - instant uncontrollable vomiting
Danger of Nicotine absorption. Individual dependent. I have made a few serious messes. I try to be careful working with 100mg nic, but sometimes the best laid plans go south. I don't panic,(why raise blood pressure?) i just wipe up any mess and finish so as to not be distracted and make things worse. then I go and wash off any remaining sticky pg/vg/etc.
Never have I had a bad reaction. No burnt skin or increased heart rate - nada.
You never want to make light of a dangerous chemical but you also don need to throw people into a panic when common sense will do.
