Lightbulb Sulfites in food:

There is another thing I thought of....since you mention WINE.

Wine is often a source of sulfites. These preservatives are added to it during bottling.

Some people are allergic to sulfites, and it might be a factor for you. Also sulfites are in various foods:

Not all people have the asthma component, but skin sensations are possible IMO. Intolerance is usually a smaller reaction, that an allergic one. If you are allergic to sulfa drugs, you may be reacting to the sulfites in the wine.

If you stay away from wine and the other foods in that list in the link above for a month or so, and feel better, then reintroduce something and see if you relapse. That is the best way to test for it without going thru elaborate medical testing.
