However, a small section of the population responds to sulfites with allergy-like reactions – these are mainly people who suffer from asthma. In sulfite-sensitive people, sulfites can provoke asthma and other symptoms of an allergic response such as skin rashes and irritations (FSANZ, 2001). According to Wilken (2007) those suffering from sulfite allergy will experience an asthmatic reaction in which it becomes difficult to breathe. Rarely sufferers will experience an anaphylaxis reaction in which the heart begins to beat fast, wheezing occurs, hives, dizziness, upset stomach and difficulty swallowing may occur (Wilken, 2007)."
