5 Signs You Have Sun Poisoning #Positivity #OrangeLife

Too much sun can actually make you sick and cause these other nasty sun poisoning symptoms. Here are the most common signs of sun poisoning.

Sun poisoning doesn’t really mean that you’ve been poisoned. It is frequently the term used for a serious case of sunburn. This is usually a burn from ultraviolet (UV) radiation which inflames your skin. Within just 15 minutes of being in the sun, you can be sunburned. However, you might not know it straight away. The redness and distress may not show up for a few hours. You can become severely sunburned if you stay in the sun for a long time and do not wear protection.

Sun poisoning can be avoided, so it’s important to know what signs/symptoms to look for, how to prevent it, and how to treat it.

One-third of adults will experience at least one sunburn this year, statistics show.
