Not in all uses. Some inorganic compounds of fluorine are used in toothpaste for example. Fluorine compounds are contained in the teeth and in the bones of people and animals.

PURE fluorine is an extremely deadly poison that is very corrosive and explosive, such as when it contacts anything containing hydrogen. Fluorine will take your hide right off, blind you, and kill you.

When a person asks the question "Is fluorine a poison?", they MEAN pure fluorine, so answering the question in any other way is rather silly.

Some other pure elements that are deadly poisons include chlorine, sodium, magnesium, cesium, potassium, bromine, cadmium, Mercury, phosphorus, selenium, tellurium, radon, and plutonium.

Don't mess around with any of these.
