Gallium dust or fumes may cause respiratory, digestive or skin irritations. Chronic exposure may result in bone marrow abnormalities. Anyone handling it should wear gloves and eye protection and an emergency eyewash should be available.

Like many metals, gallium shavings can in fact burn. Do not use water or CO2 to extinguish a gallium fire. Use dry chemical, dry sand or dry ground dolomite.

"Its neither corrosive or flammable. Its just a non-toxic element that melts in one's hand."
