sca-cooks Sulfites in wine/food

The only real problem I have ever seen (or experienced) was the restaurant
practice of using a sulfite rinse for their fresh veggies on the salad bar.
 Reactions there range from wheezing to body parts swelling.  I agree with
Lord Ras that for the most part, sulfite allergy has been mistaken for an
allergy to sulfa and sulfa containing drugs.  Perhaps the amount of the
chemical in the wines is small enough not to set me off, where the amount on
those veggies certainly is.
