Potassium ferrocyanide is apparently benign and does not decompose to cyanide in the body. Inhalation: May cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing and shortness of breath. Ingestion: Large doses may cause gastrointestinal upset with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and possible cramping.
