Bitter Oranges Cause Illness - Publix, Bradenton Florida

4651 Cortez Road West, Bradenton, 34210 Florida, United States

I'm very upset I'm legally blind I asked my step brother to get a bag of oranges for me they were the small ones after I peel that I could smell it was very pungent and bitter smelling so I rinsed off the orange after being po I had two slices put them in my mouth and they were so better I thought possibly I had not gotten all the rind off but no so I rinsed it again ate two more pieces and had to throw the other part of the orange away I got diarrhea I nauseous I feel like I have the flu!! I have a headache as well!! I called them the customer service person told me that they were having problems with their produce lately and the produce manager was aware of it that makes me very angry that he knows there's a problem he obviously knows about the orange problem in the diseased trees well I don't care what anyone says it made me sick I Read all about it so even after washing my hands thoroughly I walked into the other room and my mother said you smell like bitter and sour that's because it was still on my hands and the bag of oranges on the kitchen counter smell terrible and they have not been peeled at any rate I'm bringing or my step brother is bringing the oranges back the customer service person was wonderful and felt terrible about situation but the fact that the produce manager is aware of the issue and still putting out produce that's bad is upsetting to me I just can't even believe someone would do that my question is... Is they buying oranges from The underground orange market it sounds ridiculous but I'm sure there is one ... Sorry if I'm not working this the best way I just am so sick right now I feel like I'm going to throw up!! I'm legally blind and on disability I don't have money to be spending on rotten fruit that's going to make me sick or anything else for that matter who knows is there meat infected?? I'd like to hear back about this issue I need to know what else to do thank you
