Sunburn

[Guest guest]

Dear Jane,

The quickest way is to make a paste of bicarbonate of soda (baking

soda) and put over all the burn.

Let it dry overnight . It will flake off in the bed and you will

have no burn in the morning.

If it is really bad, soak a clean cotton flannel in a bicarb and

water solution and place the cold flannel on the face. Douse it with new

solution so that it does not dry until the pain has gone.

Give the person plenty of fluids to handle the shock and NO heavy

meals.

chicken soup would be ideal as well as juices but not too much

sugar..........Love Penny(an old surfer, sailor and kayaker who took two

vital ingredients with her - bicarbonate of soda and meat tenderizer.

Most stings are protein so a bit of spit and meat tenderizer work

wonders.)
