Has anybody here experienced this condition?
It sounds pretty nasty.

Get a lime squeezer!

No I haven't heard of this, but citric acid is a form of ACID and will do damage if left on your skin and apparently in the sunlight. Scary stuff!

Maybe THAT is why tiki bars need to be kept so dark! :)

Wasn't there a topic on this last year? Anyway, there are several foods that, aside from skin contact, will lower your UV protection if ingested regularly. Limes, Figs, etc. all are not great for people who work outside all day and don't wear sunblock.
