Will have to second that. Have only used it once, and did so outside, with goggles and protective gloves. It's nasty stuff, lethal oral dose of as little as 15 grams.
If you're sensible with it, it's nothing to worry about. Like anything that would be dangerous in the wrong hands.
Once I was done with mine, I neutralised it with baking soda and tipped it away. Disposal, as with use, should be done with care and adherence to local laws.

Looking at this helmet..makesme wonder if its worth trying to remove the corrosion as it seems thats the only thing holding it together.
Is there a possibility to bring back to life through this dangerous acid process..and is it worth it in the present condition it is in?
I dont know and is why Im asking.

Looking a lot better now! All of the excess dirt and rust removed, whilst still retaining the relic look.
Interesting to see what looks like surviving Luftwaffe blue-grey paint across the dome too.
