It is possible that the water from a x-mas tree stand could contain some harmful compounds.It would depend on what species the tree was. Some conifers are known to have compounds in their sap that are dangerous enough to require mill workers handling their green lumber to wear respirators. I would prefer to err on the side of caution.
