I did a google and found answers from 'tastes good with red meat' to 'must handle using NASA ceritified space suit'.

So how dangerous is it? Is it dangerous to inhale the gas? And what is meant by dangerous? - sudden death or headache, dizziness?
I currently use the liquid Kodak Selenium toner.

(confused)
Wear gloves and make sure the room is well ventilated when using it and you'll be perfectly safe. If you use it very hot be prepared to experience some very strong pungent smells but you will produce some really different results.
