Morbius, I was under the impression that Pu is one of the most radiologically toxic substances on earth.

No on both sides. There are non-radioactive molecules which are fatal in far more miniscule amounts, such as
Dimethylmercury. And on the radioactivity side, plutonium is not very dangerous compared to, say Cobalt-60 (strong gamma emitter) or Iodine-131 (short half life, concentrates in body).
