No, he is not. Molecules with deuterium are no more or less toxic than the same molecules containing garden-variety protium hydrogen. Deuterium is a stable isotope of hydrogen and is not dangerous in the same way that isotopes like Sr 90 or Cs 137 are.

He is best ignored until he learns what ionizing radiation is and why it is harmful. He is simply afraid of something he does not understand.
