Calcium is an important mineral that the human body needs; it is present in bones and has a number of other functions as well. However, calcium comes in a variety of forms, not all of which are equally beneficial to the body. Metallic calcium would react with water to form calcium hydroxide, a powerful base with a very high pH which can dissolve flesh. Even then, I would not describe calcium hydroxide as poisonous so much as corrosive, but it could be lethal in any event. There are also other calcium compounds which are poisonous, not because of the calcium but because of the other component of the compound, for example, calcium cyanide.
