[Sca-cooks] Allergies for waterbearers to worry about???

[Stefan li Rous]

I asked a question on the Trimaris list and got this reply and another  
one which mentioned the orange allergies as well.

I'd never heard of either an allergy to oranges or bleach before. I  
can see where avoiding cross-contamination with oranges could be  
difficult.

I'd hate to have to eliminate oranges at waterbearing.

I can easily imagine being "allergic to"/offended by certain Florida  
orange industry spokespersons, but to oranges??? Maybe this is  
confined to Trimaris/Florida. Unlikely.
