Phytophotodermatitis, also known as berloque dermatitis, [1] [2] [3] margarita photodermatitis, [4] [5] lime disease [6] or lime phytodermatitis [6] is a cutaneous phototoxic inflammatory reaction resulting from contact with a light-sensitizing botanical agent (such as lime juice) followed by exposure to ultraviolet A (UV-A) light (from the sun, for instance).
The leaves are used as herbal medicine to alleviate cough and fever, pain, and general gastrointestinal disorders as well as to cure dermatologic disorders.

Papain is the main ingredient of Papacarie, a gel used for chemomechanical dental caries removal. It does not require drilling and does not interfere in the bond strength of restorative materials to dentin. [13] Papain has been known to interfere with urine drug tests for cannabinoids. [14] It is found in some drug detox products.
Consistency and viscosity affect the adhesion and retention property of the gel, and are important in ensuring the gel is retained at the site of application and effective delivery of the drug. [3] The ingredients in topical gel formulation can be broadly categorized into four types: gelator, solvent, drug, and excipients.
The mountain papaya fruit is harvested when it is anywhere from 5–20 centimetres (2.0–7.9 in) long, 5–6 centimetres (2.0–2.4 in) in diameter, and an average weight of 200 grams (7.1 oz). [7] During fruit softening the fruit undergoes textural changes due to cell wall modifications that occur through the synergistic action of a complex ...
