I have been told I am allergic to sulfa
drugs since a child. I now wonder if
there is a relation between sulfa drugs
and the sulfates and sulfites used as wine
and food preservatives. If so, could
these ingrediants be responsible for a
constant, localized on an arm skin itch?

I'm not sure but my husband is allergic to
sulfa too.
Do NOT take any decongestants with
guaffenesin in them. I'm not sure if
that's how to spell it, but it contains
sulfa. My husband took some Sudafed one
night and we ended up in the ER.
He's never had a problem with drinking
wine or any kind of food preservatives,
but that doesn't mean it couldn't happen.
