Sunburn and sun poisoning can affect anyone exposed to high UV levels, particularly during summer activities like swimming, hiking, or beach outings. While mild sunburns are uncomfortable but manageable, severe sun poisoning can lead to systemic symptoms such as fever, nausea, and dehydration, posing significant health risks. Individuals taking medications that increase sun sensitivity, such as certain antibiotics or heart medications, are at higher risk. Without proper precautions, prolonged exposure can result in long-term skin damage and increased vulnerability to heat-related illnesses.
