Small glitter counts as particulate matter and may aggravate asthma and other respiratory ailments. GLITTER can ( if inhaled) cut you insides up an cause beeding.
some of the contents of glitter: Crystalline silica , Amorphous silica, Glass fiber particles are all quite dangerous when inhaled. The key is "inhale" or the silicosis version of "black lung disease"
or "mesothelioma". It isn't that it is toxic. It is that it is rigid
and very stable, which means it can cut through any cyst wall, and
continue to damage lung tissue.
even on the packages of glitter it says: dangerous if inhaled
Boy, am I ever dumb! Here I am with all that dangerous stuff -- I mean I've worked with it regularly for about 30 years!!!!!!!!! Who knows what evil diseases I have even as we speak?
Please excuse me while I run to the doctor to get a confirmed diagnosis of glitter-induced illness, and find out how many pathetic few weeks I have left to live before the evil particles snuff out my life.

Seems as if the people that manufacture the stuff should be banned from doing so being that is not marketed as a controlled substance or poison...unless it was this type...
Luster dust is an edible food decorating powder which sparkles once it dries. It is commonly applied to the frostings of cakes and cookies, especially for formal events or during the holiday season, when many people enjoy rich gold and silver accents on their baked goods. A bakery supplier in your area probably stocks luster dust, and you can also order it through mail-order companies which specialize in baking products.
Michelle Bachmann is the third Republican Candidate who has been openly attacked with glitter thrown at them by Gay Activists and the authorities do nothing. Apparently there is an organized movement by Gays to make their statement by throwing glitter at candidates who disagree with them.
"The liberal organization GetEQUAL is promoting these attacks on any politician who disagrees with their position on gay marriage. In addition, they are offering to train anyone who might be interested in learning how to attack a politician."
The organized bullying continues and is becoming more brazen.

Although gold and silver are both common, luster dust comes in a range of colors, from bold primaries to jewel tones. It can be used to create highlighted accents on a finished piece, or it can be applied in larger volume to give a baked good a glossy finish. The product may also be called sparkle dust, pearl dust, or sparkle powder, and it is perfectly safe to eat, just like the gold and silver leaf which are applied to fancy cakes.
A container of luster dust is typically rather small, because a little bit goes a long way. To use it, you will need to dissolve the dust in an extract which contains alcohol such as vanilla or orange extract, or an alcohol like vodka; by using an alcohol solution, you ensure that the moisture will evaporate after the luster dust has been applied. Mixing luster dust with water or other liquids is not recommended, as it can turn sticky and dull.
but HARMFUL if inhaled....even cocoa powder or powdered sugar, even the powdered cheese from the instant macoroni and cheeses are HARMFUL if INHALED
throwing this glitter/powder/dust in someones FACE is dangerous and should be treated as an assault
