[QUOTE="Star*, post: 424398, member: 4964"] UAN - YOU HAVE SUN POISONING - There is a chance that if you are on -antidepressants, birthcontrol and sat in direct sun without any sunscreen and you are fair skinned? You burned yourself There are a lot of BC and AD's that state you can not or should not risk exposure to direct sunlight. Also other medications. perhaps you are on one, or none. Just being fair skinned without sun screen will burn you. (possibly 2nd degree burns. If you do not get immediate medical attention this will get infected. You need to REHYDRATE and get electrolites into your system - NOW. This would be Gatorade 1/2'd. Like a bottle of gatorade poured into a glass 1/2 way with 1/2 water. DO NOT DRINK FULL STRENGTH. OR if you can stomach it - PEDIALITE. Also if you can deal with it - but I doubt it - cool/tepid water bath - with baking soda - use about a 1/4 cup - and sponge on skin. Air dry. After that? Get to the ER - YOU will probably need STEROIDS to reduce the swelling. AND possibly a topical for your face and arms (areas exposed) and possibly IV fluids.
