If it is strontium-90 or the 11 other isotopes created by synthetic nuclear reactions then yes it is very bad for you. It's a bone-seeker and if ingested it can migrate to the bone marrow and over time cause terrible illnesses.

Natural strontium in four numbers (84-88) is safe and stable and even used as mineral supplements, but it can be hard to get people to overcome their uneasiness about the name because of its dangerous cousin!
