The discussion revolves around the existence of toxic compounds in liquid or solid forms, with participants exploring examples and expressing concerns about the implications of toxicity.
Participants generally agree that toxic compounds exist, but there are multiple competing views regarding specific examples and their implications, particularly concerning hydriodic acid and the classification of dihydrogen monoxide.
Some participants express concerns about the nature of the question and the implications of discussing certain toxic compounds, indicating a potential lack of clarity or assumptions about the intent behind the inquiry.
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:

Anyhow, I agree with Borek, the answer is, "Yes."
