Nomad, make some tea and put it in a spraybottle and spray it on repeatedly.

The tannic acid in the tea should take out the sting.

Buy an aloe plant or take one you already own.

Split the leaves open so it exposes the thick juices inside then rub it all over your body.

Find a smooth flooring surface.

Run.

Slide.

A nice cool bath and some aloe vera works for me usually.

And a hot girl to rub it on you never hurts

Vinegar. You'll smell like a douche but the sting will be gone.

You just know now that somebody is going to quote that, Nomad and place it in their signature and it's meaning will be taken completely out of context. :wah:

I've heard milk will help take the sting out. But I prefer aloe vera gel. Put in the fridge for couple hours before applying it.

Get some Aloe Vera-----it's soothing and works.

Stay out of the sun - don't get burnt - don't itch - simple!:D

Repeat John Howard Griffin's experiment and report back.

Paracetamol, people always treat the skin but if you have pain with the sunburn take some analgesia to help.

And stay out of the sun!

butter! :yh_bigsmi

saffy · Post by **saffy** » Wed Jun 20, 2007 7:21 am

I know you probably said butter for a joke but seriously you should never, ever put butter on a burn!!

YZGI · Post by **YZGI** » Wed Jun 20, 2007 7:25 am

Tomato juice bath. oh wait thats for skunk odor. Oh well it can't hurt.

If it's only a first-degree burn, sun tan lotion SPF 50, or calamine lotion - if it's 2nd. degree, and over an area greater than that of the top of a teacup, see the doctor about it. Paracetamol and ibuprofen (a normal dose of both these at once) will help if it stings.

Which is why I said I know you probably meant it as a joke.

But there are some seriously stupid people on the interweb who might not know it was a joke so I just thought I'd share an obvious fact with everyone on the thread.:-6

don't forget to warn people about the tomato juice, hammers, sand paper, BBQ sauce, etc. too!

Don't use baby oil! It's occlusive (doesn't allow the skin to breathe) and it will hold the heat in from the burn! Not exactly the ideal environment to promote healing.

Take cool showers and use a water-based moisturizer. Next time, don't leave home without a sunblock!

moose spit... oh sorry ya only get that in Canada....

Aloe Vera Gel is good but... make sure it has no alcohol in it (no I won't be over to drink it) but some of the off the shelf Aloe Gels have alcohol in them for that fast cool affect but actually those are brutal on your sunburn as well chemistry would state alcohol dries you out, bad for the burn.

Smash my feet with a hammer, spray tea on myself after bathing in tomato juice, sandpaper and gobshytes are bad.

Got it. Thanks guys and gals. :-6
