Abstract:
Burns due to lime, although well reported as a result of occupational exposure, are uncommon in the sports arena. A case of such a chemical burn, which required surgery in a football goalkeeper is presented. There are safe alternatives to line marking on football pitches the use of which will prevent such injuries and avoid litigation.
