Do you react to the citric acid additive (used as a preservative in many products) and/or to citrus products such as oranges? The citric acid additive is made with the Aspergillus fermentation process. It should be avoided by all people who are allergic or sensitive to mold.

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Hi Nancy, You may not be reacting to citric acid. It sounds like you may be reacting to the pesticide and fumigants than the fruit. Try certified organic and see if that will help. L-lysine would have no effect on these chemicals.

I have taken L-Lysine to help with the break out but it doesn't seem to do much. Finance: Get your refund fast by filing online Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
