Answer 1

Aw, its just a really bad phobia. Lots of people have irrational fears like that. I have a friend who really hates feet, you can't remove your shoes around her, so I try to help by wearing slippers once in a while and going see they aren't biting you are they she freaks but slowly she'll get used to them and the alarm bells that go on in her head will switch off. Now she can stand kinda stand peoples feet so long as they don't touch her.

I say use the same techniques around you sister, eat satsumas and other citrus fruits, ask her what oranges remind her off or what they make her feel, stick picture of oranges in the fridge and stuff. That way she can slowly get used to them. Do not stop eating oranges though cause then she'll never stop freaking out over them.

Answer 2

Maybe he had a bad experience when she was younger, maybe it made her sick once. I have a niece that won't eat hot dogs anymore cause when she was younger she got the flu once and threw up after and now won't eat hot dogs at all. So it just could have been something simple like that she could also be allergic to citrus?
