Teresa: These are a certain class of antibiotics. They can be in the form of pills or creams. For a certain portion of the population, they cause allergic reaction. Which is a shame because they are wonderful germ fighters. I am highly allergic to sulfas and it used to be a problem when I would get a urinary tract infection, as that is the preferred form of treatment. Same for pink eye. Common allergic reactions are hives or rashes, but personally I get very nauseated and usually throw up just before the rash breaks out all over my arms, legs, and stomach. If you are interested in the chemistry of these drugs, check out the link I included.

I had been allergic to Sulfa my whole lifestyles too, its genetic. I can drink wine however I do get a headache often after even a tumbler, it can be my hypersensitivity. If you feel that your hypersensitivity is getting worse as you grow older, do not monkey round with it. I do not know of any tips instead of warding off it. There are a few wines which can be made with out sulfates.
