Warning Issued: Playing with Lemons in the Sun May Cause Severe Blisters
Doctor Moo Weerasak Charatchaisri, a specialist in forensic science at SWU, has recently issued a warning regarding the dangers of letting children play with lemons in the sun. The warning comes after a distressing incident involving an Australian mother whose child suffered from severe blistering wounds known as Margarita Burn or Phytophotodermatitis.
Margarita burn and Phytophotodermatitis are skin inflammations caused by exposure to substances found in certain plants, such as lemons, followed by exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet rays. The symptoms include red rashes, swelling, clear fluid, and dark spots. It is crucial to take the necessary precautions to prevent these painful conditions.
According to Dr. Moo Weerasak, anyone who comes into contact with lemon juice and is subsequently exposed to sunlight is at risk of developing Margarita burn. Therefore, the best method of protection is to avoid contact with lemon juice when going outdoors and receiving sunlight.
In the case of unfortunate exposure and resulting blisters, proper treatment is essential. Dr. Moo Weerasak recommends the following methods of treatment:
1. Apply a steroid cream to the affected area: This will help reduce inflammation and itching, promoting faster healing of the skin.
2. Seek medical advice for severe cases: If the blisters are clear, there is swelling, or if there is severe pain, it may be necessary to take antihistamines or steroid medicine. These medications regulate the immune system’s response, reduce the risk of infection, and assist in the healing process. It is crucial to consult a doctor before using these medications to avoid potential side effects or interactions with other medicines.
3. Take precautions to prevent scarring: After the wounds have healed, the affected area may darken or become uneven. To prevent this, it is recommended to cover the area with a bandage or apply sunscreen when going outside. These measures help maintain the skin’s healing process and minimize scarring.
In light of these findings, parents and caregivers are urged to be cautious and prevent children from playing with lemons in direct sunlight. Taking the necessary precautions and being aware of the potential risks can help keep children safe from the painful effects of Margarita Burn.]
