Antifreeze Will Now Contain Bitter Taste
 

The Consumer Specialty Products Association and the Humane Society Legislative Fund have announced that the U.S. antifreeze industry will begin voluntarily adding a bitter flavoring agent to discourage animals and children from ingesting antifreeze and other products containing ethylene glycol.
Ethylene glycol is highly toxic, with a sweet smell and taste that attracts both animals and children. It is rapidly absorbed, which leads to systemic poisoning that starts with the central nervous system.
If you suspect your pet has ingested antifreeze or any substance containing ethylene glycol, you should seek immediate veterinary care. Also carefully read labels on all antifreeze and automotive coolant products in your home and follow instructions on how to use, store and dispose of them

That's great because I think a lot more animals die in the US from ingestion of the stuff than many people realize.

Yes, this is very good news!

I had a very good Golden Retreiver die from antifreeze poisoning.:mad:

I also was talking to a Ranger in Glacier National Park once, and he told me that a lot of Mountain Goats there die from antifreeze poisoning from the Logan Pass Visitor Center parking log. Vehicles over heat on the climb up the pass, then antifreeze leaks out onto the parking lot. The Goats then lick the antifreeze and die of kidney failure.
