Yes: Most likely a problem with oral allergy syndrome which is a cross reactivity issue with certain raw fruits and vegetables which have similar protein structures to some pollens like ragweed, birch tree, grass or mugwort.

Maybe: Nausea indicates lower brain stimulation. The easiest way to treat yourself is to get rid of the "junk" in your diet, particularly sugar in all its forms.
