The table is about licking specifically. It’s not a breathability table. Just so that is clear.

I assume if it's getting anywhere near your mouth you'd also be breathing it but aside from that, ingestion is also a nogo.

The ingestion/breathability table might be more restrictive. Like, elemental Sulfur is ~~perfectly fine~~no actually it’s not fine— but probably unpleasant to lick. Contact dermatitis likely but not life threatening—just one lick, ok; promise no more? ;)

Breathing elemental Sulfur is also going to result in contact dermatitis -inside the lungs. Which is going make a really bad day.
