Symptoms of sun poisoning, which is a severe form of sunburn caused by prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays, include:

• Severe redness and pain of the skin
• Blistering or peeling skin
• Swelling and rash
• Headache
• Fever and chills
• Nausea and vomiting
• Dizziness or fainting
• Dehydration
• Fatigue
• Painful, gritty eyes
• Lip blisters
• Confusion

Sun poisoning symptoms often start like a typical sunburn but worsen over several hours, with blisters indicating a second-degree burn that may lead to complications such as skin infection and dehydration

. These symptoms reflect both the direct skin damage and systemic effects from fluid loss and inflammation. Severe cases require medical attention due to risks like heat exhaustion or sunstroke
