Question

What are the side effects of Sulfur?

Answer 1

Sulfur is found in all living things. It is the third most abundant mineral in the human body, after calcium and phosphorus. Garlic, onions, and broccoli all contain sulphur. Sulfur appears to have antibacterial properties against acne-causing bacteria. It may also aid in the loosening and shedding of skin. Sulfur is a FDA-approved ingredient used in common over-the-counter products to treat dandruff.

Complete answer:
Sulfur is applied to the skin for dandruff and an itchy skin infection caused by mites (scabies). Shortness of breath, allergies, swelling in the back of the throat (pharyngitis), high cholesterol, clogged arteries, menopause, and upper respiratory tract infections like the common cold are all conditions that people take sulphur for by mouth.
Side effects of Sulfur when:
Taken orally: There isn't enough reliable information to determine whether sulphur is safe or what the potential side effects are. Some people may experience diarrhoea as a result of it.
When applied to the skin: Sulfur is possibly safe when applied to the skin in the right way and for a short period of time. Sulfur-containing products with concentrations up to 10% have been safely used for up to 8 weeks. Applying sulphur products to the skin may cause the skin to become dry in some people.

Note:
Sulfa allergy: It's a common misconception that people allergic to sulfa drugs are also allergic to sulfur-containing products. This isn't correct. Some antibiotics and related drugs contain sulfonamide, which causes allergic reactions in people who are allergic to "sulfa." They are unaffected by elemental sulphur.
