I have a bit of an odd story; a couple of months ago I went to home depot and decided to buy some tomatoes. I saw that they had San Marzano Tomatoes and given that I love to cook with them, I happily bought the San Marzanos. Well, its really odd but every time I handle my tomato plants I get horribly sick. I'm talking shock to my system; cloudy vision, wracking pain in my head, spine, and neck, tremors, full on dementia. It feels like I literally go insane and it takes about two weeks for me to start feeling normal again. A month after my last experience I still have lots of tension in my back and the back of my neck and I just don't feel right.
At first I equated it to someone maybe poisoning me, I wasn't sure what the hell was happening but yesterday I cut about 2 ft off of them and trimmed them up quite a bit and those crazy feelings and pains came back. I started feeling faint and dizzy, the pungent smell of the tomato plant lingered on my hands for what seemed to be the entire day. I eventually went to bed early and slept quite a bit. Today I flushed out my body with lots of water and I'm starting to feel somewhat normal again, however; I'm likely going to have the headaches and back/neck pain for another week or so.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can someone tell what's going on with me? I eat tomatoes every week, I know I'm not allergic to them, however, when handling my tomato plant I get horridly ill. NO this is not a joke, no, I'm not trolling anyone. I'm actually seeking information or help.
Thanks,
SanDiego-an
