I just happened upon this. Sulfa drugs were the first antibiotics, back in the 30s before penicillin.

    I'm allergic to this shit. I had to go to the ER for a cat bite once and they said - good thing you remembered you were allergic because otherwise we were going to give you some and the reaction can be quite nasty.

      You and 3 to 8% of people, apparently. Like 10 times more common than peanuts allergy.
