Hmmm difficult for me to be too sure. So lets assume some things.
assume the dynamite needs a spark to blow up- that takes care of the exploding part. inside a nice damp body there is no chance of a stray spark sending you sky-ward.
Next we have to think, would the chemicals kill you. And the answer is possibly not! The active ingredient is actually used to treat heart conditions. and I think it is mixed with some other safe chemicals.

So my best guess- you would probably be ok. But i Still wouldnt try it! Never eat anything you make in the lab, unless it is liquid nitrogen ice cream!
