Actually it looks like a classic allergic reaction, in which case
neither sulphites nor MSG will be the cause - they are too small
molecules to trigger allergy (although they might make you ill for
other reasons). Do you have any known allergies, Bella?

In my case, I know that I am grossly allergic to rats, and if something
like that happened to me I would suspect that the chorizo was
contaminated with rat hair or faeces (yuk).
