Yes. It can freeze you to death, and can also asphyxiate you, if you breath it's off gassing exclusively, over time.

No. Nitrogen does not irritate skin. But liquid nitrogen is extremely cold, and it can damage and kill skin (and other) tissue.

Liquid Nitrogen kill warts?

While liquid nitrogen theoretically could be used as a wart remover, this is not done in practice due to the difficulty of maintaining nitrogen in the liquid state. Commercial wart remover products contain dimethyl ether and propane. These liquified compounds (which are gaseous at room temperature and pressure) boil upon releasing the pressure in the container, thereby causing a dramatic cooling effect. Because liquid nitrogen is so cold and can cause severe frost bite, it is used only by physicians to kill warts.
