Paul,

I was thinking (too slow to pick up my e-mail so Jeff
beat me to it) that I had heard that the human toxic level
of Halon was a lot higher than the "put out the fire" level.
Thanks, Jeff.

Thats why I **thought** I had bought the small Halon that I
carry in the cockpit.

That's the beauty of Halon.  It doesn't need to remove the oxygen to kill
the fire.  I forget the actual numbers but something like 5% halon will
kill a fire and it takes something like 15%+ to feel any effect in humans.
Not particularly toxic in emergency situations if you know what I mean.
