    I'd invite you to swallow a couple of grams of cesium, but you wouldn't get beyond putting it in your mouth before your head was converted to a rapidly expanding gas. It's a reactive metal that pulls apart water molecules, freeing hydrogen and producing a crap-ton of heat. Then the hydrogen ignites.

    Yay, videos!

    Fluorine gas will handily turn your lungs into a mushy puddle in tiny amounts, and some super-concentrated acids could well dissolve your entire body.

    Dimethyl Murcury is extremely toxic. I'm pretty sure most lab chemists don't mess with that chemical because of it's high toxicity.

    Hydrofluoric Acid is also very toxic.
