What are the symptoms of allergy to food that has sulfure like cabbage and cawliflower?are they a life threat?

The preservative sulfur can cause allergy-like reactions (intolerances), asthma symptoms such as wheezing in those with underlying asthma, hay fever-like reactions, urticaria (hives) and very rarely, anaphylaxis (allergic shock).



Sulfonamide antibiotics (such as Bactrim, Resprim, Septrin, Sulfadiazine, Sulfasalazine, Sulfacetamide) can also cause allergic reactions, ranging from mild to severe rashes through to anaphylaxis (allergic shock).



It would however depend on the person's individual response to it. Bear in mind though that allergic reactions to sulfonamide (sometimes called "sulfur") antibiotics do not increase the likelihood that a person will also be allergic to sulfur powder, sulfite preservatives, or non-antibiotic sulfonamide medicines like some pain killers or diuretics ("water tablets").
