FEAR MONGERING...in a very small percentage of folks, a sensitivity to PG is existent...for the most part minor but, very annoying and for them it should be avoided...on the other hand, there is a slight possibility go lipid pneumonia from VG because, it is vegetable based...in either case, both are recognized as GRAS(generally recognized as safe) at the dosages we are talking about by the FDA and virtually every scientific/health advisory agency in the world.........

I'll preface with Fear Mongering.

PG can be Toxic. I saw one report where someone was given PG by IV for 18 straight days (it was a delivery for meds) and they had a toxic reaction.
People can also have a toxic reaction to waterif givin to much.
So there is a basiss, but it would be at a level you will likely never reach vapeing

It is believed that felines are more prone to toxicity from PG then other animals.
Do not feed your juice to your cats, lrtting your cat vape may not be a good idea either.

I have been seeing a lot of "information" that states that PG is harmful, and from what research I have done (wiki) shows that propyl glycol is pretty mild. So my question is, is it really dangerous, or is all of this just a bunch of fear mongering?

No, it's not dangerous. I don't think we've lost a vapor yet due to vaping pg. Something the cig companies can't say.
