We typically know what a traditional sunburn feels and looks like: they are uncomfortable, cause skin redness, and often peel during the healing process. However, when it comes to sun poisoning, most people are unaware of the symptoms and treatments.

A sunburn often happens, but when skin is not protected from the ultraviolet rays, it can become sun poisoning, which may require medical attention.
