Guest guest Posted June 16, 1999 Report Share Posted June 16, 1999 I read somewhere that Sulfa allergic individuals can take MSM because the sulfa is somehow different. In my opinion, I would never risk a potential allergic reaction. We have learned our lessons the hard way.....One of my daughters is allergic to sulfa and the other one is deathly allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. take care, Connie Steve Jordan wrote: > From: Steve Jordan <sjord@...> > > Sandy and group, MSM is made of naturally based SULFA foods.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 1999 Report Share Posted June 16, 1999 Connie, you have to be so careful with allergic children. Up here the Toronto School Board don't allow kids to tqke peanut butter sandwiches to school for lunch because there is a minute chance a tiny bit could be on a desk or on a door knob and cause a disaster to an allergic child.
