Sodium Hydroxide is a powerful base and a concentrated solution such as found in domestic drain cleaner like Drano will kill you in the perhaps the nastiest way possible if you drink it. It will also burn you if you get it on your skin. It will blind you if you get it in your eyes. It will also irrate your lungs if you breathe it in a mist or dust such as in oven cleaner spray. So yes it is bad for you.
