In general, if your "RTV" product smells like acetic acid, 
it's corrosive.  If it smells like Ben Gay (SP?) back rub,
it's not corrosive.

The corrosive kind, if applied where it can cure into the
air won't be harmful.  It's only when it's used in a closed
area, like a connector box and can't "air" that it will be
corrosive.

Trivia:  "RTV stands for (R)oom (T)emperature (V)ulcanizing.
It cures/ dries by absorbing water ... by "getting wet". (:-)
It's "drying / curing can be hastened by laying a wet cloth
over / around the stuff, if this is practical.
