Not quite if you pay attention to your diet and watch your health
than no its not dangerous
yes we have some quantity but the reactions of it are highly exothermic and they release lot of heat
Elemental potassium reacts violently with water producing potassium hydroxide, which is caustic. Potassium ions (from potassium compounds, which are more common than elemental potassium) can be toxic and are in fact used in lethal injections in the form of potassium chloride. However, we need a certain amount of potassium ions in order to survive at all.
Due to its high bonding It decomposes to potassium oxide and carbon dioxide gas when heated to the right temperature.
This is a very violent reaction.
Potassium is one of the most reactive metals there is. If it touches water it immediately starts to react producing hydrogen and getting very hot. Within seconds it gets hot enough to burn. This ignites the hydrogen and causes an explosion which sprays molten potassium around which continues to burn. When potassium burns it makes potassium oxide. This dissolves in water to make potassium hydroxide which is a highly corrosive alkali. If you breath in the fumes of burning potasium then it makes potassium hydroxide inside your throat and lungs. This would burn them and make them swell up so you couldn't breath. Potassium is very dangerous stuff. Imagine what would happen if it rained on a potassium building!
potassium :D
YES
potassium
Yes if you define dangerous. Water is dangerous in the presence of potassium metal.
Ingestion of any more than a VERY SMALL amount of potassium chromate is dangerous to any person, not just a pregnant one!
Your skins and could have some permanent damage.
Well, it'll tan your hide.
No. Saltpeter is a dangerous substance.
Potassium deficiency is a very dangerous condition. Symptoms include muscle cramps, fatigue, and even dangerous arrhythmias. Consult with your doctor if you think you may be experiencing potassium deficiency.
A high potassium level is an indication of hyperkalemia. This is dangerous as it may lead to changes in heart rhythm or even death.

Potassium and dont try it at home it is dangerous
The reaction between potassium and a dilute acid or even just water (which is what an acid is diluted in) is very dangerous. On contact with the acid the potassium bursts into flame and may even explode, sending flaming molten pieces of potassium into the air.
