How many apple skins are too many? Could it be dangerous?

Asked by ben (9080) November 23rd, 2006

So in the course of Thanksgiving pie-making, I found myself eating a large quantity of apple skins--maybe 5 apples worth. Then I got a very strange headache and have been feeling intoxicated. Anyone know what the chemical involved is, and how much is too much? I'm feeling a little better, but I'm still curious.
