Does anyone here eat pumpkin seeds? Pumpkins are not as popular here as in the US so its not a fruit I am that familiar with. I recently bought some vanilla pumpkin seeds as an alternative snack. I ate a couple of handfuls last night while fighting the rabbit off me (the vanilla smell attracted him), and this morning was very sick.
Looking up on the net I found out they contain zinc so its possible I had a reaction to an overload of zinc but there is nothing on the label to direct you on how much you should eat and they came from a good shop so not cheap rubbish. As I currently have a serious problem with my liver, which is still being investigated and for as long as I can remember I often suffer from iron deficiency anemia I'm wondering if it was odd to caused the reaction.
