Sunday i make a trip to take the kayak out to a favorite small lake and have a pretty good time on the water. Weather was sunny but not overly hot, & spent about 6 hours paddling the lake & catching fish.
took care to wear a long sleeved thin mesh shirt that breathes well but blocks sun, and wore my big wide brimmed boonie hat, so was good there.
But, in a classic moment of dipshittery, i rolled my pants to knee high when getting in the 'yak, and there they stayed, for 6 hours.
From the top of my socks to just below my knees, i got roasted. Today, blistering up, & it hurts like a sumbitch.
hydrocortisone has helped, and i remembered as a kid when we got burnt, vinegar compresses were said to help, and they made it feel a bit better, although some articles online said that was a myth....myth it may be, but it felt better to me.
What has worked well for you when dealing with burns?
