It can be quite lethal when taken in large doses. Small doses are treatable. 
My Mystique was starting to get the Canadian rust bug pretty bad,but my Contour only has one tiny little patch of surface rust on the bottom of the passenger side fender. Look anywhere else and you'd think it was a Cali car.  Not a bad find for $1200.

It might take some time, but considering you still have the car on stands, it would be a pretty cool idea to grab some sanding sponges and get busy. When you are done, hit everything up with Rust-O-Leum Black to match the aussie. Let her dry 24 hours before driving again, and it should help. I had some suspension components partially rusted when I originally installed my suspension, and I treated it the same way. Has not gotten a single chip as of yet. 
OMFG, my 1964 Impala's belly wasn't even that rusty and I'm next to the Great Salt Lake  My CSVT is still all black and silver underneath with no signs of any rust!
Actually, the best bet is to use a coating like POR-15. It will stick VERY well to the rust as long as you take a wire brush to knock off loose bits and flakes. It totally seals in the rust and stops any oxygen from getting to anything else, so no oxidation. It drys to a nice semigloss black, and it's a heavy duty coating once dry! You brush it on, but it still flows out and looks like it's been sprayed. 
Don't get any on your skin though, it will not come off once dry and will only come off as your skin peels! When I did the floor boards and frame on my Impala, I looked like a mummy in an old spray booth suit w/ ski mask, goggles and triple lairs of blue solvent resistant gloves, but atleast I stayed clean

My Mystique is a Florida car that was driven to CT and abandoned. I went up & rescued it after it spent 1 winter there.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.
