Probably the most dangerous thing I've done in a chemistry lab is the
distillation of diazomethane.

No iodine crystals, either, I take it?
NB: If you don't know what you could do with these you probably had a much
safer childhood.
Ammonium triiodide isn't so dangerous. I had some kind of chemistry for the
farm book with stuff like how to make fulminate of mercury and more serious
stuff.
