Well, how many of our grandfathers caught fire back then? A DARN FEW! And if you don't smoke around it and don't have an open flame near by, how the heck is it going to catch fire? Of course it's got some degree of risk, but so does riding your bike! As far as a carcinogen goes you can wear cloves can't you? I don't recommend using gas by if one is careful it does work.
