The zombie maniac because of lemon juice and

You may have a similar situation if you have a habit of drinking lemonade in the morning but do not wash your hands well before going to the street.

Science magazine BMJ Case Reports has just chosen to publish the disease of a 29-year-old Australian young man, as a general warning to lemonade believers and those working in cafes and cafes.

Dr. Luit Penninga, medical director at the Ilulissat Hospital and Avannaa Health Region in Northern Greenland Island (Netherlands), one of the authors of the article on BMJ Case Reports said patients were hospitalized with 2 tables. "zombie-like" hands, blushing, blue-violet areas appear, blisters like severe blisters.

The results show that he suffers from a condition called phytophotodermatitis , which in Greek is a strange dermatitis syndrome that occurs when light and plant factors combine . The zombie status of two hands originated two days ago, after he squeezed two lemons into his water bottle and strolled for 10 hours under Greenland's "midnight sun" .

Phytophotodermatitis happened because he saved water, did not wash his hands after squeezing lemon, then a light-sensitive compound is psoralen in lemon juice exposed to UV rays from the sun activating dermatitis. Called the "midnight sun" because when the illness occurred, Greenland is summer, the sun rises 24/24 and in the evening, when the young man walks, the sun still shines with bright rays .

The doctors took 2 months to help the patient's hands escape the zombie situation.

Although severe conditions such as male patients are rare and strange, but scientists have recorded many cases of mild skin lesions in those who do concoctions, working in restaurants, must be exposed to Lemon and some plants contain psoralen. Also not necessarily "midnight sun" , the normal sun is still full of UV rays and can ruin your lemon-covered body.

Psoralen is also found in other citrus fruits, celery, figs, some weeds and wild plants. So it is best to mix a glass of lemonade or another drink from these things, so wash your hands well before going out.
