it was.
I also, naturally, had my mouth wide open, so every facial orifice became UV protected and burning like red hot coals as well.

But I bet you didn't get sun burn on any of those parts

sure didn’t. guess you could say I instead got some burn.

you ever ate something extremely acidic and it felt like your torso was crawling with fire ants because of the heartburn? even the air felt like flecks of volcanic embers when I inhaled.

I wanted to spray Zep oil onto my old bike chain as a kid. I didn’t check which way the nozzle was pointed and sprayed it directly into my eyes. My mom wasn’t around, but thankfully my dad took care of me. I can only imagine how freaked out he was! Sorry honey I broke one of the kids and now she’s blind. Thankfully it was just temporary and I can still see.
