    Oh for goodness sake! 

    Pickles, acids of all kinds, PH Pool powder, yes, of course they can
    be dangerous if you rub them into the cat, swallow them like gin and
    tonic or put them in the bath instead of bath oil...... 

    Generally speaking though they are no more dangerous than the common
    cleaning materials you leave under you sink - bleach, Mr Plumber,
    ammonia and so on. 

    You won't get cancer if it splashes on your hands, you won't die if
    it gets on your finger and you happen to lick it off - nasty taste
    though! It will eat through your clothes and leave a mark on your
    skin if you don't wash it off so be sensible - but please don't treat
    it is if it radioactive industrial waste that glows in the dark and
    turns diamonds blue! 

    Fluoric (HFl) acid however - that's another matter. That stuff gives
    even me the heebie-jeebies.
