Right now, for me, it seems to be red grapes as the trigger. Strange since red wine which I drink a fair amount of doesn't have the effect, and I've never noticed this in the past with grapes. Perhaps some catalyst interaction with vitamins, or medication is causing it, haven't figured it out yet.

You smell something that smells like sulfur coming from your vehicle?

The sulfur smell is the catalytic converter. There will always
be some smell of sulfur. The converter changes the carbon monoxide
in the exhaust to sulfur dioxide. Strong sulfur smell may be an
indication the converter needs to be changed.
This can also be a symptom of a leaking battery. We had a
battery crack, and the sulfur smell was almost overpowering for a
couple of days. Even after it was replaced, the smell lingered for
a bit.
