Go into an asthma attack when i eat sulfer dioxide. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Smog: I believe you are referring to metabisulfite often used as a preservative. This emits sulfur dioxide which is akin to inhaling an important component of smog leading to asthma attacks for susceptible individuals. The intensity of response varies from person to person.
