How dangerous is Nickle Anti Sieze?

I have been an industrial electrician for a few years now and last summer (as well as for a few months now) I would do valvle maintenance with my crew: taking out, rebuilding and reinstalling valve. Through this whole time I was using the nickle anti-seize the factory gives us on bolts and and the valve faces as well. I am quite a gung-ho and sloppy worker so many days I would get it on my arms, hands, and face (due to me itching my face alot).

Today I looked at the bottle and saw it said that it was toxic/cancer causing. I am now worried that I might have been over exposed and am worried that I might have major health problems in the future because of this. How toxic is this stuff exactly? I always assumed since it was a food facility it would be food grade, but I guess not)
