Flux fumes are not a _major_ risk...other measurable risks include
any food that's caramelized - like toast - and green vegetables ;-)
The risks however are _very_ small...

The future was never like this!
Don't eat
sandwiches while you're soldering...and wash your hands when
you're done ;-) Lead in gasoline (petrol over here) was a bigger
problem.
But I am not at all convinced that the alternatives that are added to
'unleaded' petrol are any more healthy...
Resin flux is a known carcinogen, so don't breathe the fumes.
Oh _great_. Still, it's a well-known fact that research causes cancer in
rats :-)
