I get deathly sick every time I eat arugula. I was wondering if this happens to anyone else. I do not have any other food allergies. Something in arugula makes me have the dry heaves for three days after ingesting it. I also have disorientation symptoms and the effect of eating arugula is like some sort of chemical poisoning. I would really appreciate some sort of information if anyone has any.

Too sad. I can only say that if I don't consume arugula on a weekly basis I get your symptoms. I am an aruguladict. My favorite is arugula with: (1) pignoli nuts, (2) parmagianno and (3) vineagrette (virgin olive oil + balsamic vinegar). It's the perfect antipasta before veal.

Suggestions: Take some Benadryl before eating your arugula. AND don't drink wine while eating the arugula.

Sometimes, those with plant allergies such as hay fever or rose fever may experience unpleasant symptoms after eating plants in the same family as the ones they're allergic to. I don't know if this is the case with your reaction to arugula, but it's worth thinking about.

I'd avoid arugula! Each time you eat it, you may be increasing your chances for a more severe reaction. Perhaps discuss this with your physician, particularly if you have any other allergies (even nonfood). And remember, you can develop food allergies at any point in your life, so just because you grew up eating a particular food, doesn't mean that one day you won't become sensitive to it. Bummer! -- S.

Allergic reaction or over reactions wile eating or after eating Arugula... Arugula the super healthy and nutritious Lettuce greens can only cause trouble ...1) if it not organic and eventually contaminated/ toxified through chemicals used by farmers !

so make sure that you find a organic source and also learn to do/use kinesiology tests on the all the foods you eat ... to find out if the food is compatible with you and you will never have reactions like that. It also enables you to find the best quality of foods on any market by testing it on the spot!.

2)If you have a parasite manifestation, parasites don't like Arugula at all and can cause cramps around the navel section after eating it... and also the clear indication of detoxification after you eat arugula the body release the toxins through the skin only if the colon are clogged full of toxins fungus and waste ...When you eat arugula you always kill plenty parasites and funguses .. so when the body want to get ride of the free radicals and can’t eliminate it through the natural digestion it come sometimes out through the skin as a reaction...

3) Good to know ! Any form of skin reactions are an clear indication of a psychosomatic illness /Problem ...

Emotional Blockages cause that distance you create. you maybe don’t like to open up to people because you don’t want to get hurt you don’t trust… you don’t want to get intimate.

What happened ? I recommend you to do an REB session to clear up past childhood programming.. and you will set your self free instantly. open up your heart experience bliss and unconditional Love

You have to learn again to trust and love your Brothers and sisters all around you... we are all one...we are all God children and we need to feel love to resonate to connect to vibrate and be able to give true love to each other … this is the only way to live a happy and successful life.

The skin is the border to the outer world and you need to let us in again. let the one’s who love you come closer. don't shy back...

You deserve to be loved. you are lovable and there are out there so many wonderful people who love you.

Love and light for your optimum health recovery

I am sorry to hear that arugula causes allergies in some people. I do not have any experience in that area, but for those who are not allergic, arugula is such a nice addition to the salad. It has a nice peppery taste and it adds a little kick to the salad.

I grow it in my garden, it is so easily grown. Actually it propagates itself. Every spring I have a new crop, without even trying. Very often I just go to my vegetable garden and eat the leaves right there and then. I do not use any pesticides.
