What about if you're drilling into it, the twist drill pulling fibers out, being blown around by the motor fan, and breathing heavily from the effort?
But yeah, OP don't snort the dust, clean it up quickly and you'll be fine

Thank you for clarifying. Yes it is ill-advised to snort dust of any particular color or make. If drilling through lead paint, fiberglass, asbestos, or even a live electrical line for a light switch is concerning to you, then I recommend you keep the dyi to the professionals.
If I wanted to heed every 'known to cause cancer in the state of California' I would live forever.

A brief one time exposure isn't anything to worry about. It's only particularly dangerous if you work around it routinely. Wear a dust mask, and clean up good afterwards and you'll be fine.
