In traditional coolants, the glycol is at least diluted (by 40-70% water).
In a waterless coolant, it's almost pure, so the effects of swallowing a similar volume will be far worse.
Animals process glycol to glycolic acid, which is what gets you ...
Apparently, a few dozen people a year die in the US due to glycol poisoning
(kids attracted by the sweet taste / atrractive colours, and drunks going for a cheap alcohol substitute)
