Yeah, the resins before they’re cured are pretty gnarly.
But the filament based plastics are usually fine. There is some questions around melting ABS in a home environment. The volume of gasses released are almost certainly below danger levels, but there are viable and ‘safer’ alternatives in PLA and PETG that are easier to print offering better resolution at the cost of high temperature resistant (PETG is similar to the plastic used in water bottles).
Unless you live in a dry, desert climate I’d advise against ABS anyway.
