I wouldn't call it very toxic, but our bodies don't deal very well with aluminum cuts, so I would assume that swallowing even a small amount might result in mild to not-so-mild discomfort.
Dirty threads=performance loss?

Assuming the lube is oil; it may be lithium or Teflon. Always wash hands thoroughly after servicing your light, there can be some seriously henious stuff on those threads..

I usually thoroughly clean my threads once I notice that they're dirty. It'll take 20-30 minutes/light, but the threads are like new when finished (clean external threads, lube, put tailcap back on, unscrew it partially, and screw it back in multiple times, unscrew, clean gunk, repeat until clean).
Spent about an hour and a half last week, cleaning my threads. Bought an "old-stock" Nyogel 760 2oz tube to do it (I'll probably use it for a ton of other stuff, too. Lubed threads are happy threads, unless you don't want them to loosen)

I finally got the Deoxit out and spent some time Meticulously cleaning the M6 and E2E, the only Surefires I never sold off.
I was a little less thorough with the 4sevens pocket lights, each brand has its place.
