There is much confusion about what constitutes a "sulfur allergy".
Do you know if you have a sulfonamide, sulfite, or sulfate allergy?
Bisulfate is a type of sulfate and a form of sulfur - sulfate allergies are extremely rare... and sulfates are very common.
Do you know the name of the drug that first caused the allergy?
