I went out to help my friend Ross B yesterday. He was racing at BARCAR.
He didn't ask for help, I just went to help so I'm not blaming him.
I hid under the EZ up all day, thinking that I was safe from the sun.
NOT!
I saw the pic that I'm posting, and I have looked in the mirror.
Trust me. It's much worse in person.
The blisters are starting to form on my back.

OUCH! I don't see how it could look any worse in person, it looks very painful
 
If I wasn't a fat ass, I would take a full pic.
 
You didn't read my post on sun block last Friday did you?
OUCH!!!!!
You may want to see the Doc. Its easy for this kind of burn to get infected.
 
Being of fair skin myself, I have finally learned how far I can take it in the sun before I must consider SPF 40 and shade. Yeah, about 5 minutes tops.

Ouch, that must have kept you from sleeping all night!
 
Ratzo,
Everyone here on RCNT want you to know what a great member you have been over the years. In recognition of this each and everyone of us decided toy need a good pat on the back.
:flaming: X 5000
 
Man, that looks pretty bad... I just got over my sunburn... wasn't near that bad, but it hurt like a beotch.. My dad slapped me on the back, not knowing i had one... all i can say is ouch...
 
That sucks major balls, i hate sun burn. I always get it when i skimboard.
 
I feel for ya bud... I go from white to purple in a few hours.. I'm just recouping from my weekend at the races.. I got the ole rings around the eyes from wearin my shades.. The wife couldn't stop laughin at my sorry ass, when I walked through the door that night...
 
I had to pick rock for a farmer that lives by me ( I know, I dont know how I got talked into that poop) So I have the sweet farmers tan going on... More like farmers burn.. poop sucks.. The worst part though was, the old guys wife brought us beer to refresh us (I dont drink) and I guess it was piss warm. So I went about 4 hours without a drink.. I dont remember much of the ride home on the dirtbike..lol.. It was bad...
 
My back of my neck is just as bad from golfing yesterday. So I know how ya feel.
 
Man, I feel for you! I was there at BARCAR early in the day. My brother and I left around 10am (we were there at 8:30ish) thinking Ross wasn't running for some reason. We had to get back to work. How did Ross do?
 
He did well. I'll let him fill you in.
 
Dude that sucks. I burned for the first and only time about 2 years ago while I was on a business trip. Anyway three of us had severe burns to the point we could hardly move or even wear shirts. I found some stuff at the store The Body Shop that was a spray and it helped tremendously. I highly recommend it if you have one of those stores near you. They sell mostly womans bath stuff but I was too the point I didn't care. It was great not having to rub anything on just have someone spray your back. It was a little pricey but really worth it, IMO. We left skin trails all over the hangar for like a week once the blisters started healing up and we started to peel.
 
go to a health food store and get an aloe leaf...peel it and smear the sap all over the burned area...trust me here in S. florida we're lucky to have those plants growing all over so we don't have to pay....they aren't for sunblock but will make you feel 100% better if you do it soon.....
 
LMAO dude that's just a diluted form of aloe sap.....get teh leaf and you can actually sleep....sticky so wear a clean t-shirt over it long sleeve if you have to but you will be able to work and everything as long as you keep putting it on....
 
man ratzo, that sucks.... i have been pretty disabled for the last 5 days being I had blisters all over my back and shoulders, just make sure not to pop the blisters, and make sure to keep some bacitracian on them always... O yea! and take some advil/ibuprofen. Sorry to hear, where u wearing sunblock?
