Subject: RE: film negative mouth kazoo?
There isn't much that's toxic in film, developed or not.

But the emulsion will go gooey in your mouth and will stop anything buzzing. It's easy to strip it off - soak the film in warm sodium bicarbonate solution and then drop it in vinegar. The result will be a clear strip of film base.

Polyester-based films, like Kodak Tech Pan, might buzz better since the base is harder and tougher. But they've never been much used except by professionals.
