Potential health effects
Although only moderately toxic in large amounts, sulfites can pose risk to some asthmatics producing central nervous system depression, bronchoconstriction and anaphylaxis. Inhalation: May cause irritation to the respiratory tract. Symptoms may include coughing and shortness of breath. Use of bronchodilators preserved with sulfites can cause allergic reactions. Ingestion: Low level of toxicity by ingestion. Diarrhea may occur by ingestion of large quantities. Skin Contact: May cause irritation and possibly dermatitis. Eye Contact: May cause irritation, redness and pain. Chronic Exposure: Chronic exposure may cause skin effects. Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: Some asthmatics are said to be dangerously sensitive to minute amounts of sulfites in foods and some bronchodilator medications preserved with sulfites.
