On the radio this morning, while driving to work... warning about Phytophotodermatitis and putting lemon or lime on your skin then going into the sun. Couldn't wait to get back and warn my Flaym Fam. Google it and be careful with your lemon folks.

Heading to Florida Keys this weekend and I’m concerned about my scalp p. And the rest of my body. Going to snorkel and am afraid that I’ll be itching afterwards. I can see it now, people will look at me that I’m contagious or something.
