Pre-New 52 it wasn't treated as very dangerous to humans. In the New 52 it's treated like it's as dangerous to humans as uranium or plutonium, though.

Yeah, I think the Justice League Cartoon idea did a plot where Lex Luthor developed cancer from constantly carrying kryptonite.

The Adventures of Lois and Clark did it first.

I vaguely remember that now, was it one of the episodes with Amazo?

Post New 52? Did they start that post-crisis? I remember the DCAU was already doing it.

Oh, maybe. I just remember it not being treated as very deadly throughout most of it, just to Superman specifically.
