Health warning: continued use of Purple Lizard maps may result in an inability to stay indoors and a sudden criticism of traffic and the desire to escape to a beautiful tropical town on the tip of Puerto Rico. Your skin may become covered with sand. Mild confusion will make it difficult to relate time and distance, which may alter your definition of weather. There is a potential for all of these side effects to occur simultaneously and without warning. That's why we are warning you now.
