What Causes Cloudy Water After Squeezing Lemon Juice Into It?
Question: I inadvertently squeezed lemon juice into a glass of water. Water was all cloudy stopped drinking. Examined lemon, covered in white slime. I assume bacteria or mold. What should I do. Will I be okay?
Brief Answer:
Nothing to worry about
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
1. Lemons are highly acidic so it is unlikely that bacteria was part of the slime or mold
2. Even if you end up consuming it then the body immunity takes care of it most of the times starting right from your mouth to the intestines
For now I suggest the following thigs
1. Watch out for fever
2. Watch out for pain abdomen, loose stools and vomiting
3. Watch for change in color of your stools
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
Regards
