I am allergic to sulfa drugs (had a reaction to Bactrim). Does anyone know: Is using magnesium sulfate in solution to soak my feet likely to cause a reaction? Thanks.

Sulfates are not cross reactive to sulfonamides (drugs).
Sulfur is one of the most plentiful molecules in the human body.
We have alot of it.

Here is an article that explains it:

One of the main sources of sulfur in our diet is eggs.

Thanks Mrs. D! I thought this was the case but wanted to make sure.
