Australian child safety organization CPR Kids recently shared a video on social media. In the video, the baby’s chest, mouth and chin are red and swollen. After a few days, the red and swollen part of the baby’s chest began to become inflamed, pus, and blistered. When the kid was playing in the water outdoors, he was playing with a lime and bit into the lime rind. A few days later, the parents found that the lime juice on the baby was red and swollen, and the inflammation got worse afterwards. Seeing that the situation became more serious, he took the child to see a doctor. After the diagnosis, it was discovered that the child suffered from “Daisy burn” due to the photosensitizing component of lime juice.
