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

Is potassium intake dangerous?
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.
Why potassium carbonate do not decomposition?
Due to its high bonding It decomposes to potassium oxide and carbon dioxide gas when heated to the right temperature.
The experiment with potassium and dilute hydrochloric acid should not be done in school laboratories. Suggest why it is dangerous.?
This is a very violent reaction.
Why would potassium be unsuitable for the building industry?
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!

What alkali metal reacts violently in water with a purple flame?
Potassium and dont try it at home it is dangerous
Why is the reaction between potassium and dilute acid not used to laboratory?
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.
