Just a reminder - we all know that its toxic, but I for one didn't realise quite how bad it is.
A work colleaque has just lost 2 cats and has a third seriously ill through anitfreeze poisoning. The vet advised her that as little as a teaspoonful of the stuff can kill a cat. Presumably the same goes for a small dog etc. and it acts like a magnet to them (tastes nice I suppose).
I always take care to decant coolant properly but it would appear that even small spillages can have serious consequences.

Its th ethylene glycol content that's the culprit - if you're using OAT perhaps you only got half of them :lol:
