No it's the capsaicin in the pepper that is dangerous. You might not taste it but it will still cause burning feeling and discomfort.
If you get it in your eyes it is very painful.

capsaicin is NOT dangerous (granted you could freak out and run into a wall or have a heart attack but the capsaicin wouldn't be the cause unless ingested a very lot of it), it fires nerves that produce the sensation heat, it isn't acidic or base - so no, sense of taste does not enter into the equation.
