Finding out the hard way...

[Clanger]

I have known for years that if I drink cider, or applekorn I will likely go tilt...I have blacked out a few times, and hit the deck.

Needless to say, I put cider to bed a long time ago and rarely touched it again, apart from the odd sip here and there.

Last night I found out I also cannot drink pear cider...I had less than a small bottle, was luckily at home, went tilt just in the doorway of my bedroom.

I didn't know I was going down...it happened in an instant. I also have no idea how long I was out, but I came round I had a throbbing face. I have a thick eye lid and puffy cheek with minor bruising, carpet burn on the cheek and shoulder, a big bruise on my upper arm, and feel like I have whiplash.

Owwwww....ouch!!

Okay...I officially cannot drink fermented apples or pears... why? I have no idea!

I'm sorry but that is the strangest thing I have heard for a while.

Must be an allergic reaction or something.

I have a weird reaction to port, as much as I love the stuff if I have any my left shoulder goes dead.

Once in a while the vision in one eye goes fuzzy, a bit like migrane visuals when I drink cider. I reckon if both eyes went the same way, I'd fall over. Maybe you're having something similar?

Usually only with scrumpy cider and usually only if it is very cold.

I solved this by not drinking it cold. I never subscribed to the fad of ice in cider anyway.

Cyanide in the pips perhaps? , in that surely with the number of apples used in the production of cider they can't remove the pips which contain trace amounts of cyanide.

And thus just bung it all into the fermentation vat, some of it seeps out.

Bit like omnivores people eat, ie crabs / lobsters which eat contaiminated fish which then people eat , putting mercury and other toxins into their systems.

I can't stand the taste of pear cider, but it figures cause i'm not a great fan of pears.

Sweet Vintage apple cider.

Might have something to do with the ratio of Ethanol/Methanol in it.
