Allergic to Oranges?? Need Help

I just realized that all of you out there in TA land can probably help me with this problem.

I am allergic to Oranges, seriously allergic. At home in restaurants

I always warn them I am allergic and to get across how allergic,

I refer to my allergy as %26quot;call the paramedics serious%26quot; which is a slight, but only slight, overstatement.

Any amount of orange peal shaving as a spice for flavoring, or orange juice, pretty much will do me in. Even touching oranges, will give me a reaction.

The odd thing is it is just oranges, not lemons, grapefruit or other citrus.

Can someone give me a handy phrase in German to warn wait staff that there might be a problem.

Thanks

Auntie

Cant%26#39;t help you with the translation, but perhaps the folks at www.selectwisely.com can.
