10 Signs and Symptoms of Sun Poisoning

9. Dehydration

One of the most common, and also serious, symptoms of sun poisoning is dehydration. It is normal for your body to lose liquid throughout the day, but you must always replace lost liquid to stay hydrated and well. Too much time in the sun, and excessive sweating, can result in dehydration. This dehydration can quickly lead to other symptoms associated with sun poisoning, like headache, dizziness, nausea, mental confusion and more. Therefore it is considered the most important symptom to look out for when you are exposed to the sun for extended periods.

Stay hydrated as much as possible when being out in the sun. This can prevent the onset of other symptoms which hinder your activity.
