The central nervous system may be affected exhibiting dizziness,                
weakness, nausea and headache. Brain damage has resulted in humans              
from swallowing lethal or near lethal amounts of ethylene glycol.               
Ethylene glycol causes birth defects in experimental animals. Tests             
for carcinogenicity in experimental animals are negative.
