Severe Sunburn

Heat Dis-ease

A Second degree sunburn is one which hurts so much you can't sleep while laying on it. It will also bubble up in the skin and the skin will peel off in a few days. If this happens once or twice in a lifetime the person will be: 1) hot in the summer more than most folks, 2) red in the face, ears, tongue tip and finger tips and 3) run fevers and sore throats easily. Their everyday body temperatures may be 99.6 or more, even 101. These are the symptoms of 'Heat Dis-ease' in Chinese medicine.

If the severe sunburns happen to a boy before the age of twelve, his penis will be small and reddish and the nipples large and reddish. He will likely orgasm too quickly during sex.
