Eating a “normal” rock might kill you too depending on the size/shape/sharpness and how quickly you can get medical attention.

If we’re talking pure elements at room temperature, people can die from extended contact/eating/breathing beryllium, fluorine, phosphorous, hlorine, chromium, cobalt, arsenic, cadmium, antimony, cesium, mercury, thallium, lead, bismuth, polonium, radium, thorium, uranium, plutonium, and americium. That doesn’t even count all of the heavier than air gases that will kill you in a couple of deep breaths. People are very squishy and prone to getting injured by things.

Would have been a more useful list if OP had excluded eating, since humans can be killed by eating almost everything not intended as food.

Also, if you throw them hard enough, all the other elements will kill you too.
