NEVER touch dry ice without gloves on. Seriously. Don't do it. It will literally burn your skin because it is so cold! DO NOT store dry ice in the freezer or fridge. Again, it's too cold! It will damage your freezer or fridge. To handle dry ice, grab an ice pick or hammer and carefully break off small chunks of it. Place it in a small container that's won't crack or burst when exposed to heat or cold.
