Pharma Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 If it's dead for years it should be no problem. The "toxins" inside are mainly essential oils in the resin and they evaporate over time. These vapors could harm insects in a tiny enclosure and that seems to be the main problem; they won't eat it if there is still harmful resin inside .
