PN and Lemon
 

Has anyone ever had a bad reaction to lemon? I just ate some fresh, raw lemon and now my skin suddenly feels like someone threw boiling water on it. This has never happened before.

Thanks.

Could it possibly be an interaction with your medicine? I know with the Fentanyl patch you can't have grapefruit.

you ate a whole lemon :eek:

Anything that makes you squirm may effect your nervous system

eg too much chilli,salt,sugar,sour/bitter/ to hot soup

Some people are allergic to citrus fruits.

I'd try some Benadryl oral to see if it helps.

Thanks, all.

It was a few bites of lemon, although I could eat a whole lemon. I have a lemon tree in my backyard, and its fruit is sweet (for a lemon).

I haven't had a flare up in a long time, so I thought that this one was odd. And it seemed to come right after the lemon, although it may not be related.

Also, there is no drug interaction in this case.

Just a thought...
 

Lemon is used in many liver detox protocols so you could have experienced a mild detox reaction. The skin is one of the places toxins are excreted which can cause rashes/eruptions. You may want to just cut back to the juice diluted in a glass of water and see how you do. Then add in the peel. It's good that they are your lemons from the back yard and don't have pesticides in them. If you are going to eat the peels of any citrus fruit, then you must go organic since the peels hold on the pesticides.
