No, the smell of ammonia cannot hurt you. The vapor given off by high concentration of ammonia however can burn your esophagus and lungs, although unlikely except in closed, airtight environments.
Ammonia is rarely a problem for most life forms (with the exception of fish and waterborne life). Ammonia absorbed by humans is either synthesized into amino acids, or excreted in urine.
The highest concentration with which most people come into contact is 5-10%, that which is in window cleaner and other household solvents.
Those who come into contact with anhydrous ammonia have little to worry about, unless again in a closed environment, because it's boiling point is below room temperature.

The tomalley in a lobster is its liver and pancreas. When cooked it looks like a green paste in the abdominal cavity of the lobster. Cooked correctly, it is considered a delicacy and is safe to eat as long as the lobster was harvested from pure waters. It can be eaten scooped from the lobster or used in sauces for a rich flavor. Note: this is often misspelled "tamale", a different food in Mexican cuisine
