“…Rutaceae is another common plant family that is widely known for its citrus fruits including lime, lemon, orange, grapefruit and pomelo [3,20].

Dr. Klaber suggested this term to describe the phenomenon of human skin eruptions produced by photosensitizing plants and their extracts upon exposure to sunlight [1]. Phytophotodermatitis may have only recently been coined as a term, but historical characterizations have been described as far back as 2000 B.C. in Egypt [2]. Egyptians used the Apiaceae plant family species Ammi majus, also known as false Bishop's Weed, to treat vitiligo [2,3].
