If Rodney is deathly allergic to citrus how does he get his required Vitamin C?

You can get vitamin C from other fruits/vegetables.

From ehow: Symptoms of allergies to citrus fruits would appear when someone has eaten one or more of the following members of the citrus fruit family: clementine, grapefruit, kumquat, lemon, lime, mandarin, minneola, orange, prunello, tangerine, tangelo, UGLI fruit and satsuma. There is a misconception that it is the citric acid in citrus fruits that causes allergies, but it is proteins and substances specific to citrus fruit, and not the acid.

Non-citrus fruit abundant in Vitamin C include plums, grapes, berries, pineapple, tomato, watermelon, avocado, pear, apple, guava, and mango.

Vegetables containing excellent sources of Vitamin C are cauliflower, parsley, broccoli, bell pepper, onion, kale, mustard green, Brussels sprouts, carrots, green peas, potato, celery, lettuce, cucumbers, leeks, turnips, asparagus, beets, yam, and corn.

I'd hazard a guess that many Pegasus fruits and vegetables are high in Vitamin C including tormack. *grins at Cep and Madison*

And on top of all the fruits and veg that have a high vitamin C content that Rodney can eat (a kiwi has two times more vitamin C than an orange for example), he could also take one little vitamin C pill everyday ;).

I kind of love, that until SGA and Rodney McKay I never would have given stuff like this a thought. On top of that, you've got answers.
