"Say &amp;quot;cheers&amp;quot; if vacation to you means sitting in the sun with a good beer, served Mexican-style with a lime wedge. One word: ahh. But would you ever have thought that that combination could wreak a particular kind of havoc on your skin? It&amp;#x27;s true...So here&amp;#x27;s the brouhaha with beer-and-lime, according to a report in the Archives of Dermatology. When you push a slice of lime down into your bottle of beer, carbonation can force lime juice to spray onto your skin. Lime juice contains a substance that, if left to bake on skin sitting in the hot sun, can cause discolorations on your skin (which can last for several months and look something like jellyfish stings). Experts call it &amp;quot;Mexican beer dermatitis.&amp;quot; It&amp;#x27;s not serious, it won&amp;#x27;t scar, and it often goes away by itself. So definitely don&amp;#x27;t say &amp;quot;no&amp;quot; to your next beach vacay--just wipe off any lime juice spills while you&amp;#x27;re there, pronto. Are you a beer-and-lime fan? What&amp;#x27;s your favorite vacation treat? Have you ever gotten an unexplainable skin reaction that just went away?
