Is sulfur the ingredient in perscription drugs making them addictive?
What are chemoautrophic organisms?
Also they are spelled *****chemoautotrophic organisms***
When do we ingest sulfur?
No, there is no link between the ingredient sulfur and the addiction to the actual drug itself.
@TeamOxygen
You ingest sulfur when you consume foods such as brocolli, egg yolks, onions, garlic, red meat, poultry, some fish, and legumes.
Chemoautotrophic organisms are organisms, usually a bacteria, that harvests energy from oxidation of inorganic compounds.
Sulfur smells like rotten eggs. Eggstacy? Did you find that on Wikipedia? I think you've been punked.
Bible*. Sorry, it is offensive if not capitalized.
Eggstacy was our joke. It smells like rotten eggs, that's why it was a failed Calvin Klein fragrance.
What kind of perscription drugs are they in?
is it in * sorry
how is it safe to use sulfur in food if it is used to make bleaching agents, disinfectants, and refrigerants?
Very informative, Team Potassium loved it!

Our elements are both used to make weapons, something we did not realize
Is it hard to find sulfur?
Sulfur is commonly found in volcanic areas and underground salt deposits. Thus, easily obtainable.
Sulfur dioxide is used in the preservation of foods.
It is safe because of the compound that is formed... Sulfur dioxide is safe, but that is not saying that any other sulfur compound is safe or not.
