    The gas released when you neutralize pickle (safety or sulfuric or
    citric) is carbon dioxide. In itself unlikely to cause any problems
    unless you do it in huge quantities and have no movement of air.
    It's possible then to get suffocated! 

    But .... 

    The fizzing will propel small particles of the pickle itself
    upwards, like the bubbles in a freshly poured coke do. These can be
    nasty as they are still acidic.
