					<description><![CDATA[<p>Annie Price via Dr. Axe &#8211; Unfortunately, most people experience sunburn at some point in their lives, but not everyone has had a case of sun poisoning. Have you? For those of you who haven’t, you’re probably wondering, “What does sun poisoning look like?” Bumps that appear in clusters where the skin was exposed to sun are a telltale sign, and it only takes a matter of minutes for sun poisoning to be visible on the body. Then again, you can also be in the sun for hours, end up with a bad sunburn but not have sun poisoning. Severe Sunburn vs. Sun Poisoning Sun poisoning is often the term used for a severe case of sunburn, but a severe sunburn and true poisoning are two totally different things. Why do some people experience “poisoning” from the sun while others never do? Sun poisoning is actually a type of sun allergy, and up to 20 percent of the population may have a sun allergy and can therefore experience sun poisoning. How can you differentiate between a really bad sunburn and actual sun poisoning? In this article, you’ll learn the answer to this question and much more — including the best natural treatment options for sun poisoning. What Is Sun Poisoning? (Types, Symptoms) What is the difference between sun poisoning and sunburn? You can have a sunburn and sun poisoning at the same time, but it’s also possible to have sun poisoning without sunburn. A sunburn is red, painful skin that feels warm when you touch it. It’s the result of exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays, most often from the sun, but it can also be from artificial sources, like sun lamps. Sun poisoning also occurs after exposure to UV rays, but unlike a sunburn, it’s actually your skin having an allergic reaction to the rays. People who experience an allergy to the sun have their immune systems go into overdrive as a result of their skin being exposed to and changed by the sun. Sun Poisoning Symptoms What does a sun poisoning rash look like? A sun poisoning rash often includes small bumps where the body was exposed to the sun. These bumps can be in dense clusters. What does sun poison feel like? It’s often itchy and can also be painful. Signs of sun poisoning caused by an allergy include: Skin redness Itching or pain Tiny bumps that may merge into raised patches Scaling, crusting or bleeding Sun poisoning blisters or hives Visible sun poisoning symptoms Visible sun poisoning symptoms often appear on the “V” of the neck, the backs of the hands, as well as the the outside surfaces of the arms and the lower legs. Sun poisoning on lips as well as sun poisoning on feet are possible but less common. Most of the time, skin symptoms are located on areas of the body exposed to sunlight, but rarely the bumps or hives may even appear on skin covered by clothing. “Sun poisoning” is sometimes used to describe a severe sunburn with symptoms like: Skin redness and blistering Pain and tingling Swelling Headache Fever and chills Nausea Dizziness Dehydration Types of Sun Allergies How long does it take for sun poisoning to go away? The duration of the reaction depends upon the type of sun allergy. Types of sun allergies include: Polymorphous light eruption (PMLE) Polymorphous light eruption or polymorphic light eruption is a rash caused by sun exposure in individuals who have developed a sensitivity to sunlight. A PMLE rash usually goes away in two to three days without additional sun exposure. Actinic prurigo (hereditary PMLE) This is an inherited form of PMLE seen in people with Native American ancestry, including the Native American populations of North, South and Central America. Actinic prurigo or hereditary PMLE symptoms are more intense than those of classic PMLE. Symptoms also typically start sooner during childhood or adolescence. Like PMLE, actinic prurigo can be worse in warmer/sunnier months in temperate climates. In tropical climates, symptoms can be experienced year-round. Photoallergic eruption This allergic skin reaction is triggered by the effect of sunlight on a chemical that has been applied to the skin. The “chemical” is often an ingredient in sunscreen, fragrances, cosmetics or antibiotic ointments. It also can be from an ingested drug, such as a prescription medication. The duration of a photoallergic eruption is unpredictable, but typically symptoms will go away after the problem chemical is identified and no longer used externally or internally. Solar urticaria This sun allergy results in hives on sun-exposed skin. Solar urticaria is considered a rare skin condition that most often affects young women. Individual hives usually go away within 30 minutes to two hours, but they often return when skin is exposed to sunlight again. Causes and Risk Factors According to the Mayo Clinic, certain medications, chemicals and medical conditions can make the skin more sensitive to the sun. It isn’t clear why some people have a sun allergy and others don’t. Inherited traits may play a role. Causes and risk factors can include: Heredity (a sun allergy can be inherited) Certain medications, such as antibiotics A chemical coming in contact with the skin Having light skin — since people with light skin are generally considered the most sun-sensitive, which makes them more likely to experience a phototoxic reaction like sun poisoning Signs and symptoms of sun poisoning usually show up within minutes to hours following exposure to the sun. Diagnosis While a severe sunburn can cause skin redness, inflammation, blistering and shedding, sun poisoning usually involves small, itchy bumps on the skin. Typically, a severe sunburn is the result of excessive time spent in the sun without protection, but it only takes minutes to experience sun poisoning. Your doctor will likely make a diagnosis based on your symptoms, a basic exam of your skin, your medical history and family history (especially Native American ancestry). Phototesting can also help to diagnosis sun poisoning. This testing involves exposing a small patch of skin to ultraviolet light. Sometimes your doctor may also perform additional testing, such as a blood test or skin biopsy. Conventional Treatment What will a doctor do for sun poisoning? If it’s a mild case, treatment may not be necessary. Conventional sun poisoning treatment for more severe cases can include steroid pills or creams. Phototherapy is another form of conventional treatment in which the skin is intentionally exposed to a special lamp that produces ultraviolet rays to gradually get the skin used to sunlight. In a temperate climate, this is often done a few times a week over the course of several weeks in the springtime to lessen the chances of negative sun reactions in the sunnier summer months. The malaria drug called hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil) is also used for some sun allergies. Recommendations for home treatment of mild sun poisoning are similar to mild sunburn treatment and can include: Using a cool compress on the area Applying aloe vera gel Hydrating with water and electrolyte drinks Not scratching Staying out of the sun Conventional painkillers, like ibuprofen or naproxen, to decrease pain and swelling Natural Sun Poisoning Treatment 1. Stay out of the sun According to Mayo Clinic, “For mild symptoms, you may need to simply avoid the sun for a few days.” Ideally, you may have avoided problematic sun exposure to avoid the poisoning in the first place, but it’s good to know that staying out of the sun for a few days can be enough to have symptoms fade away. 2. Protect your skin What if you have an allergic reaction to the sun but can’t avoid being outdoors for the next few days? Make sure to use a natural broad-spectrum sunscreen. 3. Try phototherapy (with real sunlight) Instead of artificial ultraviolet light, some doctors may suggest and help you use controlled exposure to natural sunlight to improve your sun allergy. When done correctly, repeated controlled exposure to the sun’s rays can lead to desensitization to the sun. Repeated sun exposure has been known to lead to a “hardening” or natural decrease in the skin’s sensitivity to sunlight. According to the Cleveland Clinic, “Sun reactions are more common in the spring and early summer, when people start to go out in the sun more often. With continued sun exposure over the summer months, skin can sometimes become resistant, lessening the likelihood of an allergic reaction.” 4. Eliminate possible external and internal causes Are you currently taking a medication or supplement that may be leading to your increased sun sensitivity? Look into the possibility that something you are ingesting may be leading to your overreaction to the sun’s rays. St. John’s wort, for example, is a natural remedy known for increasing sun sensitivity. Conventional medications, such as acne treatments, allergy medications, antibiotics, antidepressants and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), are known to increase sun sensitivity. The same thing goes for products you use topically, including perfumes, lotions, exfoliants and even sunblocks. Something you’re applying to your body may contain a synthetic or natural ingredient that is increasing your sun sensitivity. You may see an elimination of your symptoms once you stop using an offending topical or oral product. 5. Use natural moisturizers Just like with a sunburn, it’s important to keep the problem area moisturized to reduce symptoms. It’s also a great idea to use a natural remedy that is anti-inflammatory and cooling, such as pure aloe vera gel. Coconut oil is another great natural moisturizer you may have on hand already. 6. Be cautious with citrus fruits As you are healing (and if you want to prevent symptoms in the future), be mindful of your citrus fruit consumption if you’re going to spend time in the sun. Eating and drinking a lot of citrus fruits and juices, like orange and grapefruit, can make sunburn and sun poisoning more likely. Why? Citrus fruits have been shown to contain compounds that cause the skin to be more sensitive to light. If you’ve consumed a lot of citrus and you’re going to be in the sun, it’s even more important that you cover up with clothing and use sunscreen. How to Prevent Sun Poisoning Similar to how you can help prevent sunburn, you can help prevent sun poisoning by taking sun-safety precautions, such as: Wearing protective clothing and hats Wearing a broad-spectrum sunscreen on exposed areas of the body Reapplying sunscreen at least every two hours and after you’ve been sweating or in water Limiting your sun exposure between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the sun is at its strongest Using sun protection even on cloudy or cool days, especially around water, sand and snow, which can intensify the sun’s rays Making sure you are not taking any medications (such as antibiotics or diuretics) or supplements that can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight Checking topical products, since many skin care ingredients can also increase sun sensitivity … read product labels carefully for warnings of increased sun sensitivity Seek care from your primary health care provider or a dermatologist Seek care from your primary health care provider or a dermatologist if you have a rash on large areas of your body, including parts that are covered by clothing or an itchy rash that does not improve with treatment. Also seek medical attention if you have abnormal bleeding under the skin in sun-exposed areas. Immediate emergency care is warranted if you have signs of a life-threatening allergic reaction, which can include but are not limited to skin hives, swelling around the lips or eyes, difficulty breathing, or trouble swallowing. Final Thoughts A severe sunburn is often referred to as sun poisoning, but true sun poisoning is actually an allergic reaction to ultraviolet rays from the sun. Common symptoms of sun poisoning include small red bumps on areas of the skin exposed to the sun. Spending excessive time in the sun without sun protection can result in a bad sunburn but not necessarily sun poisoning. At the same time, poisoning can occur...</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Dr. Josh Axe, DC, DNM, CN &#8211; Summertime: trips to the beach, family cookouts, warm nights and … sunburn? Unfortunately, even if you’ve slathered on sunblock religiously, those UV rays can sneak through and leave you with a painful, itchy red burn. While I believe some sensible sun exposure is essential for your health to prevent vitamin D deficiency, too much of a good thing can lead to damaging sunburn or sun poisoning that could increase your risk of skin cancer and premature wrinkles. If after a long summer day, you’ve spent too much time outdoors under the hot sun, thankfully there are many natural sunburn remedies that actually work. How do you make a sunburn go away fast? If you’re wondering how to treat sunburn fast, you don’t have to go further than your kitchen cabinets with natural sunburn treatments like black tea and oatmeal. Are you fan of essential oils and keep them around your home? If the answer is “yes” then that’s great news since essentials oils are another great form of natural sunburn treatment. What Is a Sunburn? So what is a sunburn, anyway? A standard sunburn definition: inflammation of the skin caused by overexposure to ultraviolet radiation especially from sunlight. How long does a sunburn last? Typically, it lasts several days. A sunburn occurs when the sun or another ultraviolet light source hits your unexposed body and exceeds what your skin can handle. This prompts your skin to release melanin, its protective pigment. Here are a few interesting facts: A fair-skinned person can get a sunburn in less than 15 during intense midday sun. It could take hours for a dark-skinned person to get burned in that same type of sun exposure. Interestingly, the sunburn process starts setting in before it’s even visible to the naked eye; the first effects may not show up for several hours. Blisters related to sunburn could take hours to days to develop. It could take a full 24 hours for a sunburn’s full effects to surface. Causes If you spend too much time in the sun without clothing or sunscreen to protect your skin, it can cause your skin to burn or tan. What causes some people to burn while others are more likely to get a suntan? It depends upon the level of a pigment called melanin in the skin. People with fairer skin have less melanin while people with darker skin have more. When the rays of the sun cause damage to the skin, the skin manufacturers more melanin in an effort to protect it from further damage. This causes skin tone to change color. For lighter skinned individuals, the skin is more likely to turn red. Do sunburns turn into a tan? Sometimes a sunburn will naturally turn into a tan if peeling can be avoided. However, you should never allow a sunburn for the sake of hopefully getting a tan eventually because you are damaging your skin! Symptoms Sunburn symptoms include: Skin pinkness or redness Skin that feels warm or hot to the touch Pain and tenderness Sunburn itch Swelling Small fluid-filled blisters, which may break Headache, fever, nausea and fatigue (if you have severe sunburn) A sunburn rash or “sun rash” (hives and blisters on top of a sunburn), sunburn chills or fever, and nausea are all signs of sun poisoning. Diagnosis For your doctor or dermatologist to diagnosis a sunburn, he or she will likely examine your body, ask about your symptoms and history of sun exposure. Conventional Treatment What is the best treatment for sunburn? According to the American Academy of Dermatology, many dermatologists will recommend conventional sunburn treatment that looks something like the following: Take cool baths or showers often to decrease pain. When drying off, leave a small amount of water on the skin and then apply a moisturizer to help trap water in your skin and increase skin hydration. (This is a great natural sunburn remedy, too!) Aloe vera and soy are helpful ingredients to look for in a conventional sunburn cream. If you’re dealing with something worse than a mild sunburn or you’re experiencing discomfort, over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream is another conventional sunburn treatment. Using conventional pain relievers such as aspirin or ibuprofen to decrease sunburn swelling, redness and discomfort. Drink extra water to prevent dehydration. (Also, makes the list of natural sunburn treatments for sure!) If your skin blisters, this means that you have a second degree sunburn. Leave the blisters alone (in other words, do not pop or pick at them!) because they are helping your skin heal and guarding against infection. How long does it take for a sunburn to heal? According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), “Unlike a thermal burn, sunburn is not immediately apparent. Symptoms usually start about four hours after sun exposure, worsen in 24–36 hours, and resolve in 3–5 days.” According to the Mayo Clinic, treating sunburn with even the best sunburn relief does not heal your skin, but it can help to improve pain, swelling and discomfort. Natural Remedies How do you make a sunburn go away fast? If your sunburn is not severe, using home remedies for sunburn promptly and consistently can really help to improve a burn fast. 1. Pantry and Fridge Staples (Used Topically) If you’re trying to figure out how to heal sunburn naturally, you may be surprised to find out that many items in your kitchen can help when used topically! Here are some common food items that can help relieve sunburns: Oatmeal is proven to relieve itchy dry skin and reduce inflammation as burns heal. Enjoy its healing effects by blending dry oats in a blender or food processor until its finely ground and smooth. Add a cup of oatmeal to warm bath water (not hot!) and spend some quality time soaking. Milk can also help to reduce skin pain and heat. You can either create a cold compress by dunking a washcloth in chilled milk and applying it directly to burnt areas or by adding about a cup of cold milk to a cool bath and soaking. Make sure its whole milk so you can benefit from the helpful natural fat content. Black tea isn’t just delicious to drink, it’s also great at reducing sunburn’s redness and quickening the recovery process. In a pitcher, soak a few bags of black tea. You want to do this until the water is super black. Then use a washcloth to apply it to the affected areas and don’t rinse. The tannic acid in the tea, which gives it the dark color, eases the heat and provides much-needed relief. Yogurt contains probiotics and lactic acid, which make it an excellent choice for reducing redness and soothing the skin. Choose a full-fat, plain yogurt and apply it gently on the sunburnt areas. Let it sit for about 10 minutes and then wash off in the shower. Cornstarch can reduce the painful chafing that occurs when your inflamed skin sticks to the bed sheets at night. While using it means you’ll be doing laundry the next day, sprinkling cornstarch over the sheets will reduce friction and create a barrier between your skin and the sheets, allowing for more comfortable sleep during sticky nights if your sunburn is exceptionally painful. 2. Aloe Vera and Coconut Oil When you’re in the midst of your natural sunburn treatment, your body is desperate for moisture. Applying moisturizers like pure coconut oil and aloe vera gel can really help to improve a burn. Aloe vera is so helpful that it’s a common conventional recommendation as well. It’s even sometimes called the “burn plant” because it’s such an effective natural remedy for a bad burn. You can buy a bottle of pure aloe vera or you can use a leaf of an aloe vera plant by splitting it open and applying the sap to your skin. Hint: Store a bottle of aloe or an aloe vera leaf in the refrigerator for an extra blast of soothing coolness upon application. 3. Hydrating Foods There are a lot of natural topical remedies for sunburns, but if you want to know how to get rid of sunburn fast, you don’t want to forget some internal help as well. It’s a great idea to “moisturize” from the inside out by eating foods with high water content. Snack on fruits like oranges and watermelons, which are high in vitamin C and promote healing. In fact, watermelons are about 92 percent water. Also drink plenty of water and electrolyte-rich drinks like coconut water. While healing from sunburn, avoid alcohol and sugary foods, which can increase inflammation and slow down the relief process. 4. Apple Cider Vinegar Did you know that you can use apple cider vinegar for sunburn? You might not smell great, but you’ll likely feel a whole lot better when you include apple cider vinegar (ACV) in your sunburn-fighting routine. Apple cider vinegar uses cover many health areas, but ACV will also soothe burnt skin. Add a cup to a cool bath along with ¼ cup of coconut oil and a few drops of lavender essential oil for a healing soak. No time for a bath? You can also make a 1:1 solution of vinegar and water in a spray bottle or dip a washcloth into the solution and dab on the affected areas. 5. Essential Oils They’re not just for helping your home smell nice or easing stress and anxiety, there are also essential oils for sunburn. I recommend two common favorites: Peppermint oil is a natural analgesic, or painkiller. It also helps soothe burnt areas by providing a cooling sensation. Bonus: because peppermint oil is also effective at alleviating headaches, it can help with the after-sun headache some people suffer from. Lavender oil is another essential oil go-to for sunburns. It can help to reduce the sting of burns and decrease redness. With its antioxidant, pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties, it’s the perfect choice to speed up healing, allowing your body to recover faster. Are you wondering how to treat a sunburn with essential oils? This home remedy for sunburn incorporates both lavender and peppermint essential oils, along with aloe vera juice and coconut oil for sunburn relief. How to Prevent It’s possible to get a burn from the sun even when it’s cloudy or cool outside. It’s also important to note that UV light is stronger at high altitudes and the sun’s rays are easily reflected onto the skin when you’re near sand, water or snow. Key tips for avoiding a burn from sun exposure: Aim to be in the shade if you’re going to spend extensive time outdoors, especially between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the sun’s rays are at their strongest. Apply a natural sunscreen to all exposed skin (and make sure your sunscreen isn’t expired). Put on additional sunscreen every 40 to 80 minutes, or sooner if it has washed off from swimming or sweating. Wear clothing and hats to protect skin. Wear sunglasses that block both UVA and UVB rays. Stay hydrated with non-alcoholic fluids, especially water. Nutrients found in specific foods are also known to help prevent sunburns, often in a time-dependent manner: Vitamin C and E: Vitamin C can be found in citrus fruits, peppers, guava and broccoli while many nuts like almonds and sunflower seeds are great sources of vitamin E. Beta-carotene: Foods like carrots, pumpkin and sweet potatoes are rich in beta-carotene. Lycopene: Delicious summer time foods like tomatoes and watermelon are high in lycopene. Fish oil: The sunburn response may be reduced by dietary fish oil rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Final Thoughts According to the CDC, you should seek medical attention for a bad sunburn with sunburn blisters that cover over 15 percent of your body, you have a high fever, experience dehydration and/or you feel extreme pain for longer than 48 hours. Of course, it’s always best to avoid sunburns in the first place. However, I don’t advocate completely barring yourself from the sun. Usually a few minutes is all someone needs to get sufficient vitamin...</p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Dr. Don Colbert &#8211; Slathering your body with a goopy white chemical concoction may not be the only way to protect your skin from the damaging effects of a sunburn. It turns out that what you eat can have a dramatic effect on your tendency to burn. God didn’t make mistakes when creating human beings. We are not meant to be as vulnerable to the sun as we currently think we are. In fact, the sun is a life giving force that supplies the body with essential nutrients such as vitamin D. But if this true, how did we get to be so afraid of the sun? Catalyst vs. Cause Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers in the United States. One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in the course of a lifetime. It is estimated that between 40 to 50 percent of Americans who live to age 65 will develop a carcinogenic skin tumor. That is scary! Skin cancer is a serious issue that is certainly associated with overexposure to the sun in many cases. However, people also often develop skin cancers in areas rarely – if ever – exposed to the sun, such as the armpit or the groin. This means that sunburn is not the root cause of skin cancer, but instead more like a catalyst for its formation. It is true that a life of excessive sun exposure and sun damage will likely make your body more susceptible to skin cancer, but this is much more likely if your body is already in a weakened and vulnerable state due to poor diet and lifestyle choices. In other words, the sun isn’t the cause of skin cancer, but a toxic and inflamed body is. Sunburn = Skin Inflammation The redness, burning sensation, and eventual blistering associated with a severe sunburn are part of the body’s natural inflammatory response to excessive ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure. Sunburn is basically the body’s warning sign that it has reached its limit of UV exposure. What’s interesting however, is that a healthy body – regardless of skin pigmentation – can handle much more UV radiation before triggering the inflammatory response that leads to sunburn. The Science A study conducted by German researchers found that foods high in antioxidant compounds dramatically affect how the skin reacts to sun exposure. The researchers gave half the participants of the study antioxidant-rich tomatoes and olive oil. The other half of participants ate the same diet except without the tomatoes and olive oil. At the conclusion of the 10 week study, the participants who consumed the tomatoes (1/4 cup daily) and the olive oil (2 tsp daily), experienced a whopping 35% less reddening than the control group! That’s a significant result. This is likely due to the anti-inflammatory and free-radical scavenging effect of the antioxidants found in tomatoes and olive oil. 7 Superfoods to Prevent Sunburn Now that we know how food can affect the skin’s ability to handle sun exposure, here are 7 powerful superfoods to protect your skin from the inside-out: Green Tea – Green tea is rich in antioxidants called catechins that are protective against UV damage Spirulina &#38; Chlorella – Both of these nutritious species of edible algae contain a powerful carotenoid called Astaxanthin.
