http://www.wfubmc.edu/neurology/newha/chapter.htm#OUTLINE%204 Hot dog headache
In the IHS Classification, this is known as nitrate/nitrite induced headache. Raskin and his associates have described an entity termed "hot dog headache." As he points out (1988 ) many patients experience various degrees of headache shortly after eating frankfurters or other cured meat products. The evidence implicates the nitrite content of these foodstuffs as the cause of headache. Similar to NTG-induced headaches, they are usually bitemporal or frontal, pulsatile about half the time, and are sometimes accompanied by facial flushing. Patients experiencing these symptoms are sensitive to as little as 1 mg sodium nitrite (Henderson and Raskin, 1972), a dose that is hardly likely to exert direct effects upon arterial walls (Crandill et al, 1931). The observation that nitrite impurities in rock salt caused red patches in cured meat led to the deliberate use of fixed concentrations of salt and nitrite to produce a more uniformly colored product.
The coloring agent was not sodium nitrate, but sodium nitrite, which is formed in meat by the bacterial and chemical reduction of nitrate; nitrites have been generally substituted for nitrates in the curing process. Nitrite and its decomposition product, nitric oxide, react with myoglobin and hemoglobin to form the red compounds, nitrosomyoglobin and nitrosohemoglobin (Halliday, 1967). Human endogenous synthesis of nitrate occurs de novo and is increased by the ingestion of nitrite (Lee et al, 1986). Government regulations limit the nitrite levels reached during the treatment of cured meats to 200 ppm (200 mg/kg meat); cooking and storage lead to a reduction in the nitrite concentration so that the nitrite concentration of cured meat is 50 to 130 mg/kg.

Processed meats are a classic migraine trigger. Probably triggers CH to.

Does it make a difference if you take the hot dogs with mustard or ketchup?
I hear ketchup contains a lot of MSG. So for me hot dogs with ketchup would give me a ketchup headache....

Hotdogs (or "maycontains"... may contain beef, may contain pork, may contain chicken, may contain ??...) are the worst substitute for food ever invented.
In the only good thing about them is "weiner-water soup".
