I use a sodium metabisulphite solution (50 g / 4 l) to sanitize my carboys, racking tube, etc and I find that I react very strongly - sneezing, heaviness in chest, etc - to it. Is this an allergic reaction? how toxic is this stuff ? My room is not very well ventilated but all the same I am surprised at how it affects me. Anyone else have any experiences like this or suggestions to offer?
