10 Signs and Symptoms of Sun Poisoning

3. Headache

Similar to the nausea associated with sun poisoning, it’s easy to think your headache is caused by something else. However, many times, too much sun exposure can cause a headache that feels like it will never subside. The headache associated with sun poisoning is often due to dehydration, so it’s important to escape the sun and rehydrate as quickly as possible.

4. Fever

Feeling your temperature rise after too much time in the sun? Many times, the symptoms of sun poisoning are mistaken for symptoms of the flu. If you’ve spend a lot of time in the sun, or even a short amount of time in sun with a higher UV-index, your fever could be due to sun poisoning. Now is the time to soak in a cool — not cold — bath or take a cool shower.
