Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

Small amounts of sulfur in well water aren't harmful although the smell can hurt! In cases where there is a lot of sulfur, digestive distress can happen, including diarrhea. I have not read any studies that say blood clots are a risk.
Use of a water filter can remove these concerns.
Best,
Susan
