To follow Chrissy Teigen on social media is to love her and also to know a lot about her because she frequently uses the social platform to open up to her fans about what's going on in her life. Case in point: Chrissy posted a photo this week showing her lips after they puffed up due to what many think was an allergic reaction to an orange.
Chrissy posted the photo on her Instagram, assuring fans that it was "not filler fail" or she'd be sure to let us know! The Cravings author went on to write that the reaction happened "after I bit the skin of a suspicious orange. Maybe pesticides on the outside? I look like a juicy blow up doll, freshly unpacked."
Fans of course rolled into the comments to crack jokes ("Me with no lips: bite ✍️ into suspicious ✍️ orange"), to offer their sympathies ("My lips hurt looking at this. Let me go find my chapstick"), and to offer her some advice, which was generally to head to the doctor or get some Benadryl. Dr. Sandra Lee (who you might know as Dr. Pimple Popper) let her know that was good advice: "Allergy of course. Take antihistamine and of course no more eating the suspicious fruit!" she wrote. Allergies to certain citrus fruits can make your lips swell and tingle, so it seems to be a likely culprit.
But don't worry, Chrissy seems to have taken her words to heart because by yesterday afternoon she appeared to be pretty much back to normal, even posing for an Instagram story pointing to her lips. Lesson learned: No biting into suspicious oranges, or apparently, Fruit Roll-Ups!!!
