Can citrus fruit be bad for your health?

Question

Recently I had an unusual digestive problem , not painful, but where I had to go to the restroom in really a hurry like an extreme emergency. I really like citrus fruits. Quite often I eat orange wedges and I suspect that I may have mistakenly eaten a very small piece of the skin. Would that be enough to have such an effect? Also recently I ate quite a few (like half a dozen mandarins in a row . Would any of those things have such a result. Someone from an other country told me their country is concerned about American oranges as the wax used to protect it seeps through the skin and is not very healthy. Also I thought I heard about insecticides or pesticides used can be quite bad for the health. Does anyone have some knowledge about the subject?

Citrus skin is not a problem. Chefs scrape some off oranges and lemons to a lot of dishes. In Japan, they even make thin slices of the whole orange peeling and all, into biscuits.

You must have had eaten a bad sample (punctured by an insect and infected inside by something else) or you may have eaten something else that don't agree with the fruit.

yes, orange skins are deadly. The only way to leach out the toxins is to cover yourself head to toe in ketchup. Don't waste any time!

You'd need to ask a health professional. You should either do that or re-post in the Health section.
