Just be careful when working with teflon. NASA rules require that

Watermellons are dangerous too. If you feed one to a lab rat too
quickly, it will explode! So be extra careful when eating watermellons.

The average Joe_User, thermally stripping teflon coax at his work bench,
is not in any more danger than he is when breathing the solder fumes and
flux smoke of any other job. If it were his 9to5 job, that would be a
completely different story...
