The pores of the orange peel, a fruit popular with Russians, are breeding grounds for germs. Andrey Prodeus, a pediatrician-immunologist, warned about this.

According to him, oranges are usually divided by varieties into smooth and more “bumpy”. “From the point of view of sweetness, a thick peel corresponds to sweeter varieties, and a smoother and thinner peel corresponds to less sweet ones,” Lenta.ru quotes the expert.

However, he pointed out, thicker skins have more pores. In this regard, the doctor urged not to bring such oranges to patients in the hospital.

“Just remember one simple thing – we rarely wash oranges thoroughly, but at home we will peel them and everything will be fine. (…) (Studies) have shown that these pores contain a huge number of microorganisms, ”concluded Prodeus.

Recall also that earlier he warned that some foods can increase the risk of blood clots, some of them up to 20 times. The doctor advised to avoid eating foods with a high content of vitamin K, which improves blood clotting, which can cause blood clots. According to Prodeus, these are parsley, spinach and basil.
