dissolve the match heads in HCl like I did 
(Red phosphorus is not incredibly toxic, well, unless you boil it in basified water.) |
The red phosphorus is usually on the match box' sides, not in the match heads... it probably depends on the brand.
I once scraped a bit off, gently heated in a tube pre-filled with CO2 and got a bit of white P which condensed as tiny drops on the cold areas.
It's too much hassle to get useful quantities but at least I got a glimpse of white P. (the smell... the glowing in the dark... it's >20
years ago but I still remember!)
If the match heads are red, it could be dichromate.
