A four-year-old girl, Marnie Moore, was left unconscious after drinking a slushy at a children’s party. She suffered from glycerol toxicity, a dangerous drop in blood sugar caused by the sweetener in slushies. While older children can process glycerol, younger children may experience severe reactions, including hypoglycemia, which can lead to seizures or coma. Marnie’s mother rushed her to the hospital, where doctors confirmed the cause. Marnie was unconscious for 25 minutes and later vomited due to the toxicity.
