So what you are saying, is that when my husband eats oranges and gets mucousy straight away, this is good? Where is the mucus coming from? I would say this is more an allergic reaction, as it oranges seem to trigger his body to produce mucus. I know this is not the same as in the case of a cold. I was always taught to stay away from oranges when you got a cold. Grapefruit is fine, but not oranges... anyone know more about this?
Not that I don't believe what you are saying.... just wondering who is right and who is wrong... Just read Nina's post.... there are a fair number of people who are allergic to oranges, so maybe when one has a cold, if they think they might be at all sensitive to oranges...don't have them! I saw Lord of the Rings last night - really good. Also had an ice-cream at the movies, and had a really bad reaction to it. My throat swelled up and it was awful. I AM allergic to milk. Had hoped it might had diminished, but alas.... didn't spoil the movie though. I would have had to die quietly so as not to upset my husband who is an avid fan.... :) Tracy Tracy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike Fuller" <car...@touch88.com.au> To: <silver-list@eskimo.com> Sent: Friday, 28 December 2001 14:11 Subject: Re: CS>CS started too late. > Hi Tracy, > > Sorry, but I think you have this a little wrong: > > > I wouldn't be taking orange juice when you have a cold, as it will increase > > mucus production.
