you get heavy metal poisoning which can effect your central nervous system, kidney, liver, skin, bones and teeth
Iron (Fe) is not toxic as metal nor as part of many compounds.
On the contrary it is essential in your blood (haemoglobin with its oxygen binding Fe-centre). Anemia is the disease you suffer from the lack of iron.

To much iron intake isn't good as well, (even to much water or oxygen is 'toxic')
but that's not what we'd call toxic like eg. heavy metals: cadmium, Mercury, copper, nickle are.
