A few rare individuals are allergic to MSM and even to DMSO. Always good to test at low dose or to skin test, spread lightly, do not rub, on the forearm and check for redness. Try dilute sublingual drops and check heart rate before and after -- increase can indicate adrenalin release in response to an allergen.
Glad you figured out the issue with your daughter. That must have scared the stuff out of you guys. MSM is a very safe substance but as in any allergy a sensitization reaction can be life threatening. Also MSM manufacture has been much improved, previously early batches may have been impure. Dr Stanely Jacob has a good book out called MSM The Definitive Guide for those who want to know all about MSM. Amazon has it for ~$10. He is presently writing a 16 volume set on DMSO. For now DMSO Nature's Healer by Morton Walker is the best book I know of. The allergy to MSM is not to the sulfur BTW, which leads me to wonder about impurities in those early products. The manner of manufacture has changed alot in the past 15 years. www.jacoblab.com has a reliably purified product.
