Has anyone ever had sun poisioning from a
tanning bed? If so how long did it take to
cure it and did you get back in the
tanning bed, did it happen again?

Yes, I have gottten sun poisoning from a
tanning bed along with being in the sun
as well. After a nice bout with Melanoma
and a 7 inch scar from skin
cancer.........mulitple test (bloodwork,
chest xrays) etc.I no longer give a rats
ass about tanning. I prefer Jergens tan in
a can! As for your question, if you will
rub vinegar (yes it stinks and sounds
gross) but it will take the sting and burn
out of sunburns. Also aloe vera gel we
keep in the refrigerator will help. It
usually takes about a week or so for your
skin to repair itself. The bad news is,
the burn may have gone to deeper layers
and this is what causes skin
cancer...........Just stating the facts,
and hope someone learns early instead of
having to go thru what I have! Its not
worth the price of tanning in the long
run! You only have one body of skin!
