    A rotten egg smell when juicing a lemon could be due to a few reasons:

    1. Overripe Fruit: If the lemon is overripe or has been stored for too long, it can start to ferment, leading to unpleasant odors.

    2. Spoilage: Check the lemon for any signs of mold or decay. Any signs of spoilage may result in an off-putting smell.

    3. Contamination: Sometimes, if the lemon has come into contact with something that has a strong odor (like onions or garlic), it can absorb those smells.

    4. Bacterial Growth: If the lemon was not stored properly or has been sitting out too long, bacteria can develop, leading to strange odors.

    Try using a fresh lemon and ensure it’s stored correctly in the future. If the problem persists, it might be worth checking other fruits or veggies you have nearby to rule out contamination.
