Yes it can kill you. Most rust contains strands of streptococcus. When streptococcus enters straight into the bloodstream the virus can eat away the skin on your body. For example, its likely you may wake up with half your face decayed off. IT IS BAD. THROW IT AWAY. Use surgical stainless steel. It doesn't rust.

Inhalation of rust particles can be harmful to your health, as it can cause irritation to the respiratory system and lungs. Additionally, rust can be a breeding ground for certain bacteria that may cause infections if you have cuts or wounds that come into contact with it. It is important to avoid prolonged exposure to rust and to take proper safety precautions when working with rusty materials.

No, rust is not particularly dangerous to people. Rust is basically corrosive metal that's been eroded by weather. There's nothing dangerous about it unless you get cut by it. If you do, it's not much different than any other cut (to my knowledge that is). As far as I know, rust isn't dangerous unless you're cut by it or allergic to it. And I think it's heavier than than the original metal, but not by much
