Sunburn so bad I'm getting the chills

    There's a reason they call 'em Ray-Bans.
     
  3. Do you think extreme sunburn multiplies STDs exponentially? KK is FUCKED. What a whore.

    I rarely burn, if ever.

    Oh, the joys of being a hairy Italian man.

    Wait until it stops radiating heat, then use shea butter. It'll come in a little tub and look solid. You scoop a small amount out with your fingers and rub it on. It "melts" as soon as you rub it in or between your hands.

    It works wonders for my light-skinned hubby (who burns every time he spends more than 20 minutes in the sun).

    There are few things I hate more in life than bad sunburns. Got personal stories from long days at beach and the pool and playing basketball and football. Haven't had a bad one in a year.

    Use plenty of Solarcaine and aspirin for the pain and ALWAYS drink plenty of water.

    Don't get dehydrated or you'll feel even worse. Hope you feel better soon!

    As a ginger, I have had roughly a half dozen sunburns so bad they gave me chills. One was on my legs, it was so bad that I could only sit with my legs elevated, the minute I would put them down to try and walk, all the blood rushing down to them caused the most intense pain I have ever felt.

    Had one on my head (shaved dome) not that long ago that was so bad my night editor told me it was purple.

    My wife and red-headed daughter have a problem forgetting sunblock. because my daughter is so fair-skinned, she fries easily. Blisters are common.

    After having an uncle die from skin cancer, and being a lifeguard for four years, I have rarely had a sunburn. Sunblock baby. It's worth the five minutes it takes.

    And I have discovered one of the world's great inventions - spray-on sunblock. Now it takes less than a minute.

    Spring Break, senior year of high school. Guy I know passes out on the beach in Daytona with his mouth open. Gets a sunburn on the inside of his mouth.

    Not fun.

    Delicate mix of vinegar and water. Baste liberally and often. It helps.

    This sounds like the worst predicament imaginable.
