It hurts and has the potential of destroying or damaging more cells. THe active ingredient here is ascorbic acid, aka vitamin C. Its pH is low enough that it can actually delicate damage cells exposed by a wound. While the low pH has a very slight antiseptic effect, the damage it does outweighs its usefulness in a first aid context.

Why is lemon juice made with artificial flavor but dishwashing liquid made with real lemons?

I just quickly checked a handful of lemonade and citrus based drinks(including carbonated ones), and most of them use citric acid as well as if not primarily natural flavours...all of which come directly from the fruit itself, and a quick search for "artificial lemon" brings up nothing related to the food industry(or anything at all really). I think this question is coming from a faulty starting point...lemon juice is *not* made from artificial flavours, however you want to miscontrue that concept; at least not to the point where "artificial vanilla" or "Vanillin" actually literally has nothing to do with the botanical plant that the vanilla pod comes from. However, the presence of lemon and citrus in dishwashing liquids is justified because it is more than aesthetics and nice smells...the oils in citrus rinds are actually a naturally effective agent for chemically breaking down other fats and oils, dirt grime, etc. That's why there are products made directly from oranges and such like Orange TKO, Gojo, Formula 409, etc. Lemon juice is not made with artificial flavor, imitation lemon juice is. Some dishwashing liquid is made using vegetable soap base, and artificial lemon fragrance and some companies use real lemon juice in their products. However, the dishwashing liquids that use real lemon probably use it because the citrus acid in the lemons cuts through grease than artificial. Lemon juice companies? Who knows? Maybe it's cheaper, or they are worried about the strong taste, or it tastes better with artificial lemon than real lemon. My advice? Read the labels, make your own lemonade, and stop worrying! It's not like you have to drink lemon juice. If you are really concerned, make your own lemonade, or drink water.

How are oranges usually served?

Well they go threw a convayer belt at a factory that cleans and cuts them into perfect pieces, their placed into plastic cups and drought in sugary fruit juice, and served in school. Fresh oranges are served whole so you can peel them yourself and eat the segments. They are served sliced or cut in wedges as a garnish. They are squeezed for their juice. Some times they are used in cooking and that might be just the meat of the orange or the skin as well (like in marmalade).
