I picked papaya / pawpaw for a year, and the tree sap burns you for months, you bleed in your sleep when you sweat, you lose your body hair where it burned and it never regrows.

Nature doesn't mess about.



Surprise no one's figured out a way to package this for permanent hair removal purposes.


That's because the profuse nightly bleeding didn't test well with ages 0-120.


Fig sap, it's like glue, I burned my lips and tongue as an avid fig forager, the trick is to wait at least a day when you pick a fig not totally ripe, so it burns less


Where was this? It's the first time I've heard papaya and pawpaw used interchangeably outside of Guyana.


North queensland, Australia.


Mango sap is also super caustic.


Interesting. I remember it being itchy, but I always assumed it was an allergy.
