Question

My bf told me he cannot eat Orange! He said the orange slices will hurt his toungue?!
What the.. How can that be possible?? I ate orange since i was young and crazy for it, never hurt my tongue before.
What's wrong with him? Is it a disease or what? He also cannot drink orange jiuce with the orange slices inside. Wierd

Answer 1

If that is the biggest problem you and your boyfriend have you are darned lucky! Leave 'em alone. Eat the oranges yourself! The acid may aggravate his sensitive palate. So what! I love orange juice, but I wouldn't drink a glass that had slices inside it; choking hazard! Again, leave the poor guy alone and keep your oranges to yourself!

Answer 2

Your boyfriend is obviously allergic to the acidic acid. Here's you some sites to read about orange allergies so you can understand why your boyfriend cannot eat oranges.

Answer 3

it can be true. probably his tongue is too sensitive to acid from the orange. dont worry, it's far from being a disease!

Answer 4

it is possible to be allergic to oranges. or just to have a side effect from them. maybe the citric acid in them is what causes the problem. could just be a sensitivity to it.

Answer 5

It is possible. Heis immune system might be weak against something in the orange.
I usually hear this for tomato.
