After a few weeks of hives I found out that I have a citrus allergy.

What are some common places to find citrus that you might not think about? I'd like to know so I can avoid it like the plague.

Thanks!

    A lot of soft drinks and mixed drinks have citrus in them, even if it's not specifically "citrus" flavored.
    That's all I can really think of, though. I don't think it "sneaks" into a lot of things.
    I could be totally wrong though.

    They use the acid in a lot of different things, so I've been reading.

    Soaps, shampoos, and hand sanitizer are among that list and they do not need to be listed as "citrus".

    Oh, I didn't realize it was a contact allergy, I just assumed you couldn't consume it ><

    I had a bout of that for a while. you'd be surprised at how many dishes have onions in them.
