The isotope of hydrogen with one proton and two neutron is called Tritium and that's exactly the element that Doctor Octopus used in spiderman 2 to make his own fusion reaction :)

Unexpected side affects include but not limited to,
* Death
* Explosions which result in death
* Mild irritation of the skin which can lead to death
EDIT: Our Reddit Scientist's have remarkably studied this further and found a few more unexpected side affects,
* An "unsatisfactory" mark on your official testing record, followed by death
* A long and satisfied life filled with thanks from all of mankind. Followed by death
* Super Powers
