Wikipedia said:Hydriodic acid is currently listed as a Federal DEA List I Chemical. Owing to its usefulness as a reducing agent, reduction with HI and red phosphorus has become the most popular method to produce methamphetamine in the United States. Clandestine chemists react pseudoephedrine (recovered from decongestant pills) with hydriodic acid and red phosphorus under heat, HI reacts with pseudoephedrine to form iodoephedrine, an intermediate which is reduced primarily to methamphetamine.[6]
Because of its listed status and closely monitored sales, clandestine chemists now use red phosphorus and iodine to generate hydriodic acid in situ.[7][8]

This is what first leapt to mind, and with no reason given, I'm concerned about giving any advice or answers:
DDTea said:What did hydriodic acid have to do with the discussion? I can think of plenty of good uses for it.
Anyhow, I agree with Borek, the answer is, "Yes."
Toxic compounds are substances that can cause harm or damage to living organisms. They can be found in both solids and liquids and can have various harmful effects, such as causing illness or death.
Toxic compounds can have a wide range of effects on human health, depending on the specific compound and the level of exposure. Some common health effects include respiratory problems, neurological disorders, and cancer.
There are many different types of toxic compounds, including heavy metals, pesticides, and industrial chemicals. Some specific examples include lead, mercury, DDT, and benzene.
The regulation of toxic compounds varies by country, but in general, governments have laws and regulations in place to limit the production, use, and disposal of toxic compounds. These regulations often include testing, labeling, and restrictions on certain types of compounds.
There are several ways to protect oneself from exposure to toxic compounds. These include using protective equipment when handling or working with toxic substances, following safety guidelines and regulations, and avoiding known sources of toxic compounds.
