I have learned this fact thru trial and error. They inject MSG into the chicken for tenderness, etc... And it is made with glutamate, a nerve stimulator. Hence it stimulates and over activates your nerves and herpes. For me, it happens almost right away. If I eat non- injected, organic or kosher chicken, this does not happen. The same goes with turkey. I have to buy the fresh turkey that is not injected. Almost all frozen turkey is injected with a MSG or yeast extract broth.
