So it seems oranges are causing me contact dermatitis. If peel more that a few oranges (and/or other citrus) I get rashes on my hands. I do make sure they appear and taste ripe. This also happens if I use any skin products that have citrus in them.
I do not have noticeable gastric symptoms from citrus though; quite the contrary in fact. Except sometimes OJ causes acid reflux, but not always (I'm guessing the acid reflux is due to poor digestion and endotoxin which is caused by hypothyroid and poor metabolism).
So should I avoid citrus? That'd be rough since I love oranges and lemon.
Also, does everyone here juice their own oranges or other fruit? Do I have to use organic only in order to avoid getting an intolerance?
