LEMOORE, Calif. (KFSN) -- An everyday piece of fruit is being blamed for causing severe burns on five young girls in the South Valley. The burns cover much of their bodies.
The five little girls were simply enjoying a summer day in the backyard pool when they decided to make a lime and lemonade stand, little did anyone know that the lime juice would be so dangerous.
--SNIP--
The diagnosis was phytophotodermatitis. The Mayo Clinic says it's caused by a photosynthesis inducing chemical in the lime and other fruits, plants and vegetables.

We should bankrupt the citrus industry — uproot all the trees and burn them. It’s for the children.
I’ve been know to hold up a bag of key limes and blandly ask if they have any lock limes...
I ain’t buyin’ the story.
Brother bought a coconut,
He bought it for a dime,
His sister had another one,
She paid it for the lime.
Beat me by 20 seconds, lol.
I don’t understand. How did they get the lime juice all over their skin?
the things ya see when aint got nurse ratched
Don’t let that get stuck in your head.
I just read the other day that for a migraine you should cut a lime in half and rub a cut end on your head.I guess if you use that remedy maybe you should not sunbathe after. I am skeptical that the reporter got all the facts or accurately reported the story (imagine that) so I wonder if the reaction had anything to do with lime juice and pool chemicals?
Did they put the lime with the coconut?
——I ain’t buyin’ the story.——
I ain’t either....
Not to worry. Years later, this remains one of the most effective ear worm killers around:

I usually kill the pain with a medicinal shot of Tequila and salt in the web of my hand....
Yup....
Well, at least it wasn’t a pointed stick.
You take the lime and the coconut you mix them up together, you take the lime and the coconut, call the doctor wake him up and say DOCTOR aint there nothing I can take you say DOCTOR to relieve this belly ache (repeat)
