Will I get sick if I eat orange peels?

For no discernible reason, I enjoy eating the peel after I have finished the orange (this goes for tangerines and clementines, too, not that it matters). I know it's weird and everything, but can it make me sick? I've been doing it for a while and I've never gotten sick from it, but I know that I'm not "supposed" to.

    No in fact they contain more vitamin C than the actual orange has. Make sure you clean it though. Similar with apples and potatoes you dont have to peel them you can eat them entirely including its skin if they are washed and cooked right.
