Lump form The drawbacks to liver of sulfur in dry form are the following Shelf Life Lump form liver of sulfur has a very short shelf life. Flammability Lump form liver of sulfur is considered a flammable solid. Inhalation hazard Lump form liver of sulfur can cause an inhalation hazard due to the dust created by handling it or breaking the larger chunks into smaller pieces. Gel form Liver of sulfur is also available in a gel form. The primary benefit of the gel form being the reduced potential for harm as an inhalant.
