Citrus Fruit & Migraines - A Bad Combination?
Sometimes what you DON'T eat is as important as what you do and surprisingly, citrus fruit can be a dangerous enemy of migraine sufferers. A migraine can even be triggered by taking a whiff of the oil zest from the peel, so keep this in mind to see if you fall into this category.
Also, a possible irritant may be connected to the fact that many citrus crops are sprayed with antifungal and insecticidal wax - a double whammy for chemically-sensitive individuals. So, if you can't find organic or unwaxed citrus fruit, make sure you scrub the skin under very hot water with a brush before cutting or adding the peel to recipes or a drink.
