If you have pet birds (or plan to get any), the vapors it releases will kill them horribly (slow death due to seizures). Humans don't absorb as much and have a lot more mass, so it's not acutely harmful unless overheated (used for searing or other high-heat processes). Even then it's not going to immediately kill you, just increase your risk of cancer significantly.
