What to know about lime
Lime is clean on histamine itself but a strong histamine liberator, which is why a squeeze in a cocktail, a wedge on the glass or a lime-heavy ceviche or marinade can bring on flushing, a runny nose or hives even when nothing else does. It sits at moderate salicylate and oxalate, so like lemon the acid fruit, not the drink, is usually the culprit.
Watch for
- Strong histamine liberator, so limes prompt your body to release its own histamine even though the fruit is low in histamine to begin with
- Shows up most in drinks and garnishes: margaritas, gin and tonics, a squeezed wedge, plus lime-forward marinades and ceviche
- Moderate salicylate and moderate oxalate, a secondary issue if you already react to citrus or aspirin-type foods
