Thanks for the info, Surlymel. None of the articles I read mentioned chemical sensitivities to nirtra/ites. I have chemical sensitivities to most perfumes and cleaning products, so I know how you feel.

Right now, the only nitrites I'm eating are in those dinner franks (I've only had one in the last week) and I don't expect to have more since I don't go much for bacon and don't like lunchmeats at all. And it's fun to make your own sausage. I love getting my hands dirty.
