Does anyone know why after eating fruit for the first time in 2 weeks might cause flu-like symtoms?
I had strawberries last night and blueberries this morning, and my glands have been swollen all day with a headache and tiredness.
Just coincidence?

hi Alison,

Berries need to be washed and rinsed really well before eating, especially strawberries which grow close to the ground where they might pick up some bacteria from the soil. Just a thought :idea:

Hope you're feeling better soon :rose:
