It is safe to say that rosin dust is NOT toxic, because rosin is also used as a food additive in things like Chewing Gum, or in cosmetics such as makeup. Rosin dust could only cause problems if you have an allergy to it (Read more about these effects and what rosin is used in here:http://dermnetnz.org/dermatitis/rosin-allergy.html). I Hope that answered your question!
What else can I help you with?
What happen if the violin rosin dust flew into food?
Rosin is basically tree sap. It is fine for you to digest as this is natural. The only thing that I may add is that if you are allergic to rosin (like me), you may want to throw the food out. It will save you the trouble of allergies.

Is there a difference between violin and bass rosin?
No. Bow rosin is bow rosin.
How long does violin rosin last?
In my experience, rosin (for any instrument) has a shorter life than the manufacturers claim, because, long before the rosin goes bad, it gets dropped. Most of the rest of what is said about rosin is unsupportable. Since rosin makers rarely reveal all the additives and the purity of the colophon (the resin that is extracted from sap, which gives rosin its characteristic stickiness), it is a shot in the dark to make comparisons. In fact, for the manufactures of the high-volume lines, there isn't even a lot of guarantee that the rosin of this month is the same as next month's batch. Some manufacturers advertise that their rosin is made only of purified colophon, and some of it might just be. Others advertise additives which are supposed to make the rosin cause a "smoother sound", whatever that might mean. Some of these component are surprising, others are downright startling: Beeswax, for instance, melts at temperatures which are compatible with rosin-melting temperatures, and might just form a uniform admixture which is preserved through pouring, cooling, shipping, sitting on shelves, being rubbed on bow hairs, and then on strings. Others, like gold, silver and ground meteor bits (which are never qualified, let alone quantified) are supposed to have nearly magical effects on sound. It is said that La Scala's pit orchestra used the same block of rosin for decades, and that it only required a single stroke of a bow before a performance for the most perfect sound of Violin through string bass. The recipe for that rosin is, of course, lost to history. If you are finding that the effect of your rosin is changing within short periods (one or two months), it is a good idea to look to the amount of rosin you apply to your bow, how (or if) you clean your strings between sessions, and whether you are inadvertently contaminating the strings with oils from the skin of your fingers or other body-oils. Only after ensuring that you aren't causing the problem, should you worry about the rosin: are you using too much? Too little? Does your rosin produce a great deal of dust? Maybe one of the "professional" grades which are touted to produce little or no dust would work better for you. (These are sometimes sold as "non-allergenic", because some people become allergic to rosin dust and need a rosin which doesn't produce dust.) If you loosen your bow and run a _very_ clean comb which has not been used on human or animal hair through the hairs, you can see if you are using too much rosin or too soft rosin for your environment fairly easily: the hairs will not separate easily. If the comb becomes covered with rosin dust, you should be cutting back on application of rosin. If the hairs appear more yellowed in the area near where you hold your bow, you may be oiling them with finger oils.
How is rosin produced?
Rosin is produced from the resins of pine trees. The best rosin being produced is from a company called Melos Rosin. Christos Sykiotis who hailed from Halkidiki, North Greece, perfected the manufacture of rosin which is being used in violins, cellos and other string instruments.

How do you apply rosin to a violin bow?
Community Answer 1If you have not used the rosin on your bow before, take a nail file and file the top of the rosin down so that it looks a bit scratchy. Then run the scratchy side of the rosin up and down the horsehair of the bow in long even strokes. You know you have enough rosin on your bow when you draw the bow across the string and it leaves a white rosin trace. Remember to wipe off your strings with a towel when you're done playing to keep the rosin from building up. When applying rosin to the string do not touch the horsehair with your hand because the oils from your hand will ruin the horsehair if you touch it too much.______________________________Community Answer 2Only poor quality or old rosin needs to be scratched before use. I would recommend that having a clear tone tells you when you have enough rosin, if you go as far as leaving rosin dust on the string, you definitely have enough.
