I'd say downgrade Mercury to yellow. Licking Mercury won't hurt you as long as you hold your breath.

Having it close to your breathy parts is always not a great idea though.

I'd sooner lick plutonium than mercury.

Edit: well, maybe plutonium oxide now that I think about it. Elemental plutonium is a bit too reactive
