    The rotten egg smell when juicing a lemon could be caused by a few factors:

    1. Spoilage: The lemon itself might be overripe or spoiled. Check for any soft spots, mold, or an off smell before juicing.

    2. Bacterial Growth: If the lemon has been stored improperly or for too long, bacteria can develop, leading to unpleasant odors.

    3. Chemical Reaction: Sometimes, the citric acid in lemons can react with certain metals in juicers, causing strange odors. If you’re using a metal juicer, try switching to a plastic or glass one.

    4. Fertilizers or Pesticides: If the lemon is not organic, residual chemicals from pesticides or fertilizers could be the culprit.

    5. Ripeness: Overripe lemons can sometimes have different scents that may be off-putting.

    Try using a fresh lemon, and if the smell persists, consider using a different juicing method or equipment.
