Is ferrocene a dangerous chemical to be around, even if there is no direct contact with it?

It's not been studied a lot simply because it's not very common. \n\nStudies in general have found it to not be particularly toxic; in fact, it's been studied as a possible co-agent in treating malaria with chlorquinine. A study in dogs fed them 30mg/kg for 6 months with no detected toxicity.\n\nOne study did find that inhalation of highly-concentrated amounts caused epithelial lesions in the nose and throat, but in general, it's considered safe at low concentrations. As in any case where you don't feel comfortable with chemical exposure, contact OSHA.

Ethanol. with a coloring in it. Red or Blue usually.\n Hey all of you who are saying "mercury".....If you have a mercury thermometer in your home dispose of it quickly and safely! Even a small Mercury spill must be reported quickly as it can poison hundreds of people! It is considered as hazmat situation!! Contact with even tiny amounts of mercury can cause brain damage, birth defects and death. Mercury has no place in the home.

If you are working in a chemical lab, you should have gotten this answer during your safety training.  However, in the case of most strong acids (HCl, HBr, HI, H2SO4, etc.) you should flush with lots of water.  If irritation persists, you should seek medical attention promptly bring with you the MSDS for the chemical you spill on yourself.  If you spilled HF, you are in deep trouble.  However, I doubt you could have gotten access to HF without knowing the appropriate precautions to take.\n\nMedically, some acids are used in the removal of warts (among them is trichloroacetic acid).  The alternative there is freezing them off with liquid nitrogen.

I am fairly sure that you would have to swallow a bit more than just a little bit off your face before it will do any harm. They do say to keep out of reach of children, obviously so they don't eat it,  so if you are still concerned you should contact your poison information centre for some advice!

I would say no.  ;-)  You're talking about nervous fidgeting, right?  I'm not sure why anyone would think that's dangerous.

Well, if you found a way to ingest it without it coming contact with oxygen, you would die due to explosions. Mercury is definitely a good candidate for toxicity. Remember the Mad Hatter? Hatters went mad from the mercury that they used to cure the felt used to make hats! \n\nMercury is a metalloid that is liquid at room temperature (the only other liquid metal at room temperature is bromine). \n\nMercury: symbol Hg; atomic # 80; atomic mass 200.59; \n\nMercury is extremely rare naturally and is usually obtained by doing something to cinnabar. \n\nAnything else? I don't know, but I'm sure wikipedia has a lot of info on mercury.

Yes it is very dangerous.Both are depressants and could cause deadly affects.

Nothing. The two reactants have the same anion, so no reaction will take place. If you create a hypothetical double displacement reaction, you get:\n\nFeS + CS2 --> FeS + CS2\n\nAnd, so, there is no reaction.

Sounds like an "urban legend" to me. Given that the normal usage requires that the product become airborne and therefore inhalable, I would highly doubt that there would be chemicals in such concentrations to be lethal.

Throw it out, now!!!!  You are obviously having a dangerous reaction to the product.\n\nCheck with your doctor on something that would be less intrusive.\n\nBest of luck!

Magnesium is considered a reactive metal.  As such, many different compounds are considered to be hazardous to have in contact with magnesium:\n\nHazardous Decomposition Products: \nToxic gases and vapors may be released if involved in a fire. \nHazardous Polymerization: \nWill not occur. \nIncompatibilities: \nMagnesium reacts dangerously with many substances, including oxidizers, carbonates, cyanides, chlorinated hydrocarbons, sulfates, acids, and other metals. Please refer to the NFPA publication "Fire Protection Guide on Hazardous Materials" most recent edition for details. Reacts with acids to form hydrogen gas. \nConditions to Avoid: \nMoisture, heat, flames, ignition sources and incompatibles. \n\nHalogenated solvents should ALWAYS be avoided around Mg, as under proper conditions, explosions can occur.

So you want to put a chemical on your skin that is going to burn the top layers of your skin off?\n\nI think not\n\nIf you make a mistake it will scar you for life.

Any thing that contains chemicals gets transferred from the mother to the child so just be careful.

Mary-jane.  If I could ever find someone that had any.  It's all natural.  No chemicals, unless you get ahold of the stuff that's got pesticides on it.  Which is not only nasty, it's dangerous.
