Basic first aid , do not add heat to a burn . Sun burn is exactly that - a burn . You want to cool a burn not continue to burn it . You also probably don't want to add any oil to a burn , oils retain heat ( thats why they are used for cooking ) . You can get a suggestion from your local pharmacist for a topical ointment with a silver nitrate or some thing for burns . And might I suggest a better sunscreen , I have heard you should use a SPF 45 or better .


Oils are used for cooking because they don't evaporate at low temperatures like water does. Oils cool off faster than water in almost all cases. Water has a high heat capacity that exceeds that of oils.


You have that 100% completely backwards...

The reason we use oil to DEEP FRY things is because it takes a long time loose it's heat, and doesn't evaporate.

How is any of this oil vs. water debate relevant? I am pretty sure he wasn't going to go smear cooking oil all over his sun burn.

We might need to move this to the recipe sharing forum pretty soon.

According to the original post, he had SPF 15 on so obviously 87% wasn't enough! I'll continue to buy the SPF45 so I don't have to be asking about sunburn cures over the internet!!

Actually I'm appalled that in this day and age, with all the information about sunburn leading to melonoma - skin cancer - that people are talking about often they get sunburned. Amazing. I guess its kind of like smoking and cancer, smokers know it will kill them but 'it will happen to someone else, not them'.

When you start peeling, ask your significant other to peel it for you. OOOOOOOOhhhhhhhh so gooooooood laugh.gif

As far as time, you will feel a little better each day. After 3-4 days, you should feel much better. Then, you will peel and itch, but not burn!

Blackjack,

methinks you are just doing a "slow burn"???????

Honey is a great soother for burns though I am sure you won't want to smoother your body in this. Years back we were able to buy an OTC burn ointment that contained an analgesic. Maybe you can ask a pharmacist if something like this still exists??

I think the peeling and itch are much worse that the sunburn itself.

Totaly. Call my stupid or something, but I almost always neglect the sunburn and pay for it. Couple burns later you don't feel a thing. tongue.giftongue.gif

I have found that Tylenol really helps to take the sting away. Then it's just time. tongue.gif

      I'm not there, so I can't tell exactly what's going on but it looks like a large area of open water developed in the last day with all of the heavy snow on the east side of wake em up Narrows. These two photos are from my Ring Camera facing north towards Niles Point.  You can see what happened with all of snow that fell in the last three days, though the open water could have been wind driven. Hard to say. .

      Black Bay had great ice before but a few spots near rockpiles where there were spots of open water. It looks like the weight of the snow has created a little lake in the middle of the bay.

      On the south end...   Thanks to some cold spring weather, ice fishing continues strong for those still ice fishing.  The bite remains very good.  Most resorts have pulled their fish houses off for the year, however, some still have fish houses out and others are allowing ATV and side by sides.  Check social media or call ahead to your favorite resort for specifics. Reports this week for walleyes and saugers remain excellent.   A nice mix of jumbo perch, pike, eelpout, and an occasional crappie, tullibee or sturgeon being reported by anglers. Jigging one line and using a live minnow on the second line is the way to go.  Green, glow red, pink and gold were good colors this week.     Monster pike are on a tear!  Good number of pike, some reaching over 45 inches long, being caught using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring in 8 - 14' of water.   As always, work through a resort or outfitter for ice road conditions.  Safety first always. Fish houses are allowed on the ice through March 31st, the walleye / sauger season goes through April 14th and the pike season never ends. On the Rainy River...  The river is opened up along the Nelson Park boat ramp in Birchdale, the Frontier boat ramp and Vidas boat ramp.  This past week, much of the open water skimmed over with the single digit overnight temps.   Areas of the river have popped open again and with temps getting warmer, things are shaping up for the last stretch through the rest of the spring season, which continues through April 14th.   Very good numbers of walleyes are in the river.  Reports this week, even with fewer anglers, have been good.  When temps warm up and the sun shines, things will fire up again.   Jigs with brightly colored plastics or jigs with a frozen emerald shiner have been the desired bait on the river.  Don't overlook slow trolling crankbaits upstream as well.   Good reports of sturgeon being caught on the river as well.  Sturgeon put the feed bag on in the spring.  The bite has been very good.  Most are using a sturgeon rig with a circle hook loaded with crawlers or crawlers / frozen emerald shiners. Up at the NW Angle...  Ice fishing is winding down up at the Angle.  Walleyes, saugers, and a number of various species in the mix again this week.  The bite is still very good with good numbers of fish.  The one two punch of jigging one line and deadsticking the second line is working well.   Check with Angle resorts on transport options from Young's Bay.  Call ahead for ice road guidelines.

      With the drifting, kind of hard to tell for sure, but I'm guessing about a foot and still lightly snowing. Cook end!

      How much snow did you get on Vermilion? 
    • Mike89
      lake here refroze too...  started opening again yesterday with the wet snow and wind...  very little ice left today...
    • Hookmaster
      A friend who has a cabin between Alex and Fergus said the lake he's on refroze. He texted me a pic from March 12th when it was open and one from 23rd when it wasn't. 🤯
    • SkunkedAgain
      I don't think that there has been any ice melt in the past few weeks on Vermilion. Things looked like a record and then Mother Nature swept in again.   I'll give my revised guess of April 21st
