Dry ice is widely used in the chemistry research settings as an excellent coolant. Herein, we report a case study of a graduate student researcher who lost consciousness while retrieving 180 lbs of dry ice from a deep dry ice container. We share the details of the incident and the lessons learned from it to promote safer handling of dry ice in these situations.
