WASH THAT SHIT OFF MGL, IT'S POISON! (for real). We had a greatly fat fax service person in the office years ago telling a story about helping a little old lady change her toner and a dog sneezed or something, and her wall ended up outlined around her shape in toner.

I HATE it when that happens, I once had a virtual explosion of four different colour toners (damn you Xerox 2135s!) from a window blowing open while I had the printer open. Kept the custodians busy vacuuming for several hours but it all washed out of my white shirt. Just keep your clothes cool, heat will set the wax.

Toner is carbon black in a wax carrier occasionally with adulterants like iron oxide or silica. (Typical MSDS [PDF]).

Not really a poison, the hazard is the carbon black is ground very fine and like all fine dusts can cause lung overloading and with chronic exposure lung damage. A single exposure is unlikely to raise your risk above the background exposure from particulate air pollution. Carbon black is also a suspected carcinogen.

IT DOES IF YOU WASH YOUR CLOTHES IN HOT WATER! BUT IT'S PROBABLY TOO LATE NOW!
