What southern Florida is talking about this week:
Lime burns.
Growing up as I did in PA, followed by a dozen years in Chitown, I was never made aware of the risks people take by exposing themselves to lime juice and the sun.
But moving here has made me knowledgeable that the sweet citrus juice and the powerful rays of the sun are a dangerous mix. I mean, I guess if I had thought enough about it, I am familiar with the concept of ceviche ... I just never took it to the next level and considered how humans can also "bake themselves" if they end up doused in the acidic liquid.
Duly noted. To all of you about to go into your winter months with a thought or two of coming down here to vacation, you best be damn careful when you make your margaritas!
