Answers:
It's either CO2 or phosphorus, neither of which will be poisonous as long as you have the window open. If it's phosphorous, it will burn your tongue, but just get it all cleaned up. The CO2 won't be enought to knock you out, since there's already alot in the atmosphere. Just keep the window open for a while you'll be ok.

call poison control...they'll know.
