What does sun poisoning look like?
Sun poisoning occurs after extreme exposure to the sun. It is most commonly diagnosed by the bright red skin that is accompanied by blistering. It is wise to always put sun block in before going out doors. +++ It is not really "poisoning". The damage to the skin is a burn. The "illness" is sunstroke - the effect of heat and dehydration. Poisoning is a chemical attack on the body. It is even wiser to cover up before venturing out into the hottest time of day, with light, loosely-fitting clothing, and in fact to avoid the sun at its most intense if at all possible. Also drink plenty of water or fruit-juice, and reduce or avoid alcohol and coffee as they are both diuretics. So is tea, though slightly less so unless you quaff big mugs of "builders' tea"!
