No. Pyro developers are only highly toxic if you make them from scratch with 
powder mainly because they can get to your lungs fairly easily. The liquids you 
mix together (such as Thorton's brew, PMK premixed, etc) are, generally, no 
more dangerous than any other chemicals you use in photography.
  As always with ANY chemical, use protective clothing and eyewear.
  IMHO,

This sounds really great. But, isn't it pretty toxic too? Don't you 
have to be more careful than with ordinary developers?
