pretty sure OP is a nurse lol

 

i got sun poisoning right after i got out of OCS. i was ballsy as hell and full of swag and went to a martial arts tournament at the beach, got absolutely fuging roasted the day before with a buddy of mine, and then that night the head guy was talking bullshit about the marines (he was navy) and dared me to get into the hot tub, which i did. the next day i could barely move and then had to compete covered in growing pus blisters. recovery took a good week and i thought i was going to die.

 

looking back it might actually be the stupidest single episode of my teenage years. sunscreen is your friend

Which part? The sunburn part or when you did what the Navy guy told you?

 

I always got a kick out of Marines, they'd do whatever I told them.... lol.

From WebMD:

 

Treating Sun Poisoning

For severe sunburn, these simple remedies usually do the trick:

  • Get out of the sun.
  • Take a cool (not cold) shower or bath or apply cool compresses.
  • Drink extra fluids for a few days.
  • Take ibuprofen or acetaminophen to relieve pain.
  • Use aloe gel or a moisturizer.
  • Completely cover sunburned areas when going outside.

 

Well gee I guess that might help.
