One issue is the temperature of the dry ice. At -109°F, we recommend you never handle it directly without gloves. Proper PPE for the contaminant involved is required and just as in sand blasting or steam cleaning, the gun should never be pointed at anyone or serious injury could occur. The issue that comes up most often is noise.
