Summary


HOW WOULD I TREAT SUNBURN? Over-exposure to the sun or a sunlamp can result in sunburn. At high altitudes, sunburn can occur even on an overcast summer's day, or in the snow. Some medicines can trigger severe sensitivity to sunlight. Rarely, sunburn can be caused by exposure to radioactivity.

Sunburn can be prevented by staying in the shade, wearing protective clothing and regularly applying high factor sunscreen. WHAT DO YOU DO IF SOMEONE HAS SUNBURN? Cover the casualty's skin with light clothing or a towel. Help to move the casualty out of the sun or if at all possible, indoors.
