It's like nesting luchadores.

Is that the first time Bronn has been called Steiner on TV?

No, it's not herpes. It phyophotodermatitis. I had too many margaritas at spring break. OK, it could also be herpes.

Well it's kind of for a specific age in a specific place.

Why did I stop getting it?

Well first kids are messy eaters. Give them a bunch or orange slices and they just go to town and don't care if it drips down their face and chest.

And kids at the beach are playing in full sun all day. Adults are under an umbrella.

So people -- like my parents -- think it's just some childhood malady that you outgrow. Many doctors do too.

And they aren't wrong.

I grew up eating lemons and limes with salt as a snack. Learned it from my Grandma. NEVER HAD SCURVY!

I grew up on the coast, and every summer or two I would get this crazy blister rash around my mouth and on my hands. Huge grey blisters. For a while my parents thought I had a shellfish allergy. Doctors didn't know what it was. It eventually stopped happening and we just passed it off as a childhood, environmental reaction.

Wasn't until I was adult that I found out what it really is.

A margarita rash, or phytophotodermatitis, is a painful, blistering skin reaction caused by lime juice (or other citrus/plants) reacting with sunlight (UV-A rays). Symptoms appear 24–48 hours later, often leaving dark, streaky, or patchy hyperpigmentation that can last weeks. Key actions: Wash skin immediately after contact, use sunscreen, and seek medical attention for severe blisters

So if you go and take your children to the beach this summer and they get an unexplained, painful set of blisters. It's the lime juice reacting to the Sun.

It's crazy and painful. The pattern of blisters will follow the lines where juice will drip.

Most doctors -- outside of a dermatologists -- won't know what it is. Treatment is simple...hydrocortisone, benadryl and time out of the sun. But if your kids are around citrus juice, make them wash their hands and face with soap and water before going outside.

Cant be much worse than trying to watch euphoria, romantizing teenagers being over sexual scum bag druggies to each other.

I mean...that was my teenage experience.

Aww yes. Let's make a show about a psychopath, his equally psychopathic count of a wife and their autistic kid...should sell, right?

And honestly, it allows them to be more violent. The mafia killed people, but for the most part it was about business. Murders were bad for business, so it was best to keep them to a minimum.

I tried to explain this to my Uncles a few months back. I had some experience with the cartels when I lived down south and that was how most of them were. If you weren't in their world, you didn't exist to them. They weren't seeking you out, but good luck if you ever borrowed money or dealt with them. Nuevo Jalisco is different. They are a bunch of coked out teenagers and just want to burn down the world. They are not...business minded.

True story:

When I was a kid... call it 10-12. I wanted to dig my own underground hideout. So, for the entirety of one winter I dug a hole in our back yard, We lived on a slope that went back to a creek. So, most of our yard was kept pretty natural with only a small plot with grass then just oak trees and ivy going down to the creek. So 90% of the back yard was just natural area.

But my Dad would mow the whole thing once every spring to just beat down nature.

That spring, he found my hole...while riding the mower. It was only like 6x6x6.

I lost my shovel privileges.

Just a perfect day, drink sangria in a park and then later when it gets dark, we go home

Such a perfect day. I'm glad I spent it with you.
