Well, it sounds like the pot is a total loss, or at least not worth the
effort or cost of repair. Give it a sendoff appropriate for a warrior
that died in battle.

As for the possibility of toxic fumes, they've probably done as much
damage as they're going to do. I would start with a humidifier in the
house, maybe an air filter, and definitely some good ventilation.

I asked my wife about the possibility of a zinc-based solder being used
on the bottom, but she said it seemed unlikely, so probably nothing
majorly toxic to deal with.
