Subacute or chronic poisonings by thiocyanate produce profuse discharge from the nostrils,  skin rashes, weakness, fatigue, spinning sensation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, confusion,  disorientation and forgetfulness.  Sulfites and bisulfites can cause narrowing of the airways, stomach upset, flushing, low blood pressure. tingling sensation, itchy wheal, swelling and shock, and asthmatics are especially prone. They induce allergic-like reactions which can occur on first contact with the material.  Respiratory sensitization may result in allergic/asthma like responses; from coughing and minor breathing difficulties to bronchitis with wheezing, gasping.
