Yesterday, I was eating an apple at my desk, while I pretended to work and check my RHP games at the same time...when suddenly I felt a wave of nausea hit me. At first, I could not deduce what it was that was causing the discomfort, and then I slowly looked down at the half-eaten red apple in my hand.

I wondered…was it possible that an apple had caused me to become sick? I thought hard about it, and even asked a few friends. I actually had somebody tell me that sometimes apples make their stomach hurt, for no reason at all.

Holy crap! That means it wasn’t in my head! Then I started to wonder if this is a universal thing? Does this happen to a lot of people? If so, does anybody know WHY it happens?

Has eating an apple ever made you sick?

It was probably the insectacide that the apple had been sprayed with to make it look all shiny and alluring.

Ummm... insecticides are NOT used to make a apple "look all shiny and alluring".
They are used to kill pests.
The wax that is put on them is there to make them look shiny and alluring.

Maybe some large evil corporation is plotting to make you sick?

Did you wash it ? You can contract bacteria related illness from unwashed fruit . Say one of the apples in the bin at the market rotted , and the juice from it got onto your apple . The juice from the rotten one is a good growth medium for little critters . If the workers who picked/processed the fruit didn't wash their hands after eeking out a warhead there could be lots of other nasties on there too . Like E-coli , hepatitus , etc .

Perhaps youve become allergic to apples. Or maybe you were really stressing over your poor rhp performance and you developed ulcers and the acidity level in your stomach rose dramatically ansd simultaneously whilst eating the apple and looking over your shoulder at your employer.

Wasn't it Cinderella that got sick from eating an apple? Dude, if I were you, I wouldn't leave any food or drink out while you are not at your desk. Maybe your boss isn't happy with the fact that your playing chess and not working...

Well, I washed it and I didn't leave it unattended at my desk, thank goodness.

I guess it was just one of those random, strange things. I think I'll shy away from apples for a few days, just in case.

Babe ruth was in the dug out during a game and complained of an upset stomach . "Was it something you ate ?" a team mate asked .

He said , "Could be . I had 3 hotdogs with sour kraut , 2 boxes of popcorn , 3 beers , 2 sodas , some cotton candy and an apple . It must have been the apple ."
