Can confirm.
Also, have we told you about ‘celery blisters’ yet?
The juices from cut celery can cause a number of skin reactions that vary from person to person. When celery comes into contact with the skin, it creates a toxic sensitivity to sunlight.
After, even a small amount of subsequent sun exposure can cause severe blistering.
In addition to celery, carrots and dill frequently trigger photoxic reactions.
Cucumber, squash and okra plants have nearly-invisible hairs that not only irritate our skin but can also float into our eyeballs and cause severe inflammation.
Happy Thanksgiving! #WeFeedYou
The video below is actually from last fall (pre-COVID) but look how the celery workers cover their skin, including hands and face. To prevent phototoxic injuries celery workers will be completely covered up, no matter how hot it is.
CORRECTION:
Our apologies, Edgar confirms this video is from last week.
