Liquid nitrogen has a boiling point of -196C which is intensely cold and can cause frostbite or cryogenic burns if it is not used and handled, properly. Liquid nitrogen also has a large expansion ratio on evaporation - one litre of liquid nitrogen can result in about 700 litres of gas...these facts resulted in a teenager that had her stomach removed after drinking a cocktail containing liquid nitrogen.
