I hope this review will help you with the information you needed to know about sulfur. http://www.thorne.com/altmedrev/.fulltext/7/1/22.pdf

Hope it is of some use to you.

[Moderator's note: We have some answers in our archives that should also be of use to you. Take a look at this answer (932392966.Me), and this answer (1115689153.Bc). In addition, this materials saftey data sheet (MSDS) for sulfur (http://www.jtbaker.com/msds/englishhtml/s8138.htm) indicates that sulfur is considered "essentially non-toxic by ingestion. Ingestion of very large amounts may cause sore throat, nausea, headache, and possibly unconsciousness in severe cases. May be converted into hydrogen sulfide in the intestine." Other MSDSs for sulfur can be found at this URL: http://georgiagulfsulfur.com/msds.htm.]
