He there, i was in the hot sun in Hawaii a week ago, and lime juice fell on my left leg and now i have this huge burned mark on my leg. it’s peeling away little by little but it’s leaving a mark.
I want to ask you: does the burned mark go away? or does it permanently stay on the skin?

Please let me know ASAP.

Nice Blog btw :)

Manami, I totally know what you mean about needing to know where the bathroom is. I actually hit rock bottom and had to stay in my room for a couple days. It was bad, so I gave in and took some pills. When we get to Thailand it starts over though.

Whoa, Pat, that’s good to know. I will watch out for that in Thailand when we hit the juice stands.

You need to watch out for juice in general. You guys probably saw, but didn’t notice a similar problem with juice vendors in Colombia. If they don’t wash their hands after squeezing fruit, the acid will react with the sun and burn their skin. It usually just causes a loss of pigment, but something to watch out for nonetheless. Surprised you got burned that badly, though.

I’m so happy to know there’s someone else that thinks that traveler’s diarrhea is a GOOD thing (as far as opening up eating options goes). My strategy is to eat everything I want early on, while we’re staying somewhere comfortable, and pray to get over it before long bus rides or boat rides or outings where I feel I have to know where the bathroom is at all times (and my boyfriend, too, is so patient with me).

Who would have thought that a little lime could do so much damage?
