Diazomethane is dangerous because, in the presence of relatively acid protons, it forms the methyl diazonium ion that could methylate the alcoholic hydroxyl, amino, thiol, and carboxyl functions of biological structures. Diazomethane is explosive when it is prepared by distillation and used in hydrocarbon solvents which cannot solvate it. Commercially available trimethylsilyldiazomethane was also used as a methylating agent as a safe substitute for diazomethane (ref 3g).
