Hi, I'm sorry to hear that Melcho is unwell. Maybe the details got lost in translation, but brimstone, also known as sulphur is a pretty toxic element. I was thinking about what you might mean instead, it could possibly be sulphonamide antibiotics? Am I correct? If so, then they may be used to treat pneumonia. It also sounds like the shot may have caused the abscess. I hope Melcho feels better soon.
