*Sulfur*? That's it? Cardboard gives off sulfur too. And a bunch of it

pounds of dried apricots and see what happens).

Not the dried apricots I eat. From Turkey, they are, and unsulphered as
well. Get them from the bulk section of the local Fred Meyers (Kroger).
The lack of sulpher allows them to turn dark brown/black, but they still
taste every bit as good as the prettier, chemically treated variety.

And they don't bring on asthma attacks. 45 years after my last problem with
asthma as a kid, eating two or three sulfur-treated dried apricots will
leave me gasping for breath.

Two or three pounds of them and the whole building will be gasping for
breath.
