Oh wahtever... jeez everything is deadly now...

Picric acid is not “everything”, it is a genuine high explosive - back in WWI it was commonly used as the explosive filling in artillery shells.
If you have a jar of it that’s old,it will dry out. They used to pack it in screw top jars- which means that if you have a crystal of picric under the threads,and it’s dry, unscrewing the jar to look at the pretty bright yellow crystals can cause the crystal in the threads to be ground, scraped,and squeezed, and it may go POP in a pretty way. This primary explosion may be enough to set off the whole jar.
This has happened in the past, so people are very careful with old jars and bottles of picric!
The stuff was common a decade or two ago as a chemical and a dye, and a stain for microscopy, so once in a while someone comes across an old container. Rather than find out if it’s dry and dangerous or moist and safe, people call the bomb squad, preferring to play it safe. I saw this done, they walked it outdoors and put it in a little bunker made of sandbags. They capped a piece of plastic explosive of some sort,stuck it to the jar, everybody backed off, and blam, up it went in a most impressive way.
