All acids and bases are dangerous and none of them are useful to humans?

Nope, that's not true. Just as an example, we can see that the weak acid, carbonic acid, is used in all sorts of fizzy drinks. And we also have it in our bodies, aswell as a lot of other acids/bases. Just take our stomach acid for another example, or bensoenacid, citronic acid, milk acid and so on that we have in our food.
A lot of strong acids works corroding, and is therefore harmful. Strong acids is among others: H2SO4 (sulfuric acid), HCl (hydrocloride), HBr.
Some weak acids are also dangerous, like HI (Hydriodic Acid).
The danger with strong acids is that they can completely dissolve material, like our flesh, if you are unlucky enough to spill something on yourself.

Are acids and bases too dangerous for humans to use daily?
This depends on the acid/base to which you think.
Are acids and bases are too dangerous for humans to use daily?
This depends on the acid/base to which you think.
How can acids and bases be useful?
uh because science says that acids and bassses are related
Acids give soaps their useful properties?
Nope, bases actually gives soaps their useful properties.
How do safely handle in acids and bases?
Acids and bases can be very dangerous to handle. Wearing safety gloves and goggles, as well as a protective suit are necessary to not be in danger. It is also important to have a knowledge on the acids and bases you are handling.
A useful broad view of reactions between acids and bases involves what?
Transfer of protons
How are acids and bases useful in your daily life?
In Bleach. In a bee sting. You pour on vinegar.
Which one is dangerous between acids and bases?
It depends upon nature of acid or base generally Sulphuric acid is more dangerous than bases, but caustic soda (solid sodium hydroxide) is more dangerous than many acids as Hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, phosphoric acid and many other organic acids.
Is it true that many of the uses of bases take advantage of their ability to react with acids?
This reaction is useful but it is not the most important between uses of bases.
What is a substance that neutralizes small amounts of acids or bases?
Acids are neutralized with bases and bases are neutralized with acids; buffers are useful for the stabilization of the pH of a solution. Don't confuse between (quasi)stabilization of the pH of a solution and the neutralization of a solution.
How can humans tolerate the extreme pH values of many food and beverage products you consume?
buffers, they help bases and acids to become weak bases and acids. (making the pH not so extreme)
How are acids and alkalis useful?
hydroochloric acid helps ffight germs in ya stomach..and bases are usedd in toothpaste to fight tooth decay caused by acids
