So is Ozone, and Bromine, and Hydrogen Sulfide, and many other common substances. Yes in large amounts they all can kill you. In smaller amounts they can cause irritation to eyes, skin, and mucus membranes. In still smaller amounts they are pretty safe. Swimming pools and hot tubs use the first three as sanitizers, those air ionizer things produce small (and sometimes dangerously large) amounts of ozone. Hydrogen Sulfide or "rotten egg gas" is in farts, it's ok, just use common sense and have ventilation so it doesn't build up. With the quantities one is likely to be using at home it's not a big deal. Don't expose yourself unnecessarily, but one does not need to go overboard. If in doubt, do it outside.
