Could be you might have come in contact with a poisonous plant like poison ivy, poison oak, sumac. An abrasion from a seat belt, back pack or something could cause some skin infection or folliculitis. Germs are already on the skin and then it gets some kind of point of entry. Ant bites, or mites might also lead to some infection. Shingles is more like clusters of cold sores, but it could be a virus.

Sorry, that was a wrong description. What I meant is that the skin is still burning long after exposure. The process can continue for a day or two and sometimes more blisters will pop up or swelling and complications can get worse.

Your skin is still cooking long after you come in after the sun and you can get dehydration, fever and chills. The skin stops functioning like it is meant to and it's going to take a while to heal, if you get complications and infections go see a doctor.

It doesn't take much xylitol to kill a dog or a cat. thankfully cats don't have a taste for sweet things but it will kill them, it's poisonous. I won't allow it in my house and I'm always reading labels to make sure no xylitol is in things because it could fall on the floor and my dog could eat it. She is a medical service dog so thankfully she has been taught not to eat things off the ground. Xylitol in gum is very common and people spit their gum out all over the place.

Hopefully it's going to be okay. It could be staph infection or cellulitis going on.

Xylitol is deadly poisonous to dogs and cats.

The finger-like projections are called villi, and they are in the small intestine. They help by absorbing nutrients into the blood.

Everything is disjointed, confused, altered - except for the monitor.

... oh that? Pesky kidneys. This is why you have two of them. It'll buff out. Take some maalox and see if that helps. 🙄 (sarcasm)

Thyroid disorders cause high cholesterol and can cause non-alcoholic fatty liver disease because it's unable to process cholesterol effectively. A person can have fatty liver and be active and thin, don't eat sugar, junk food, drink, etc.

Edit... also just because someone is taking thyroid medicine, the cholesterol issue doesn't always resolve.

There's many gummies the parents have that have CBD or other ingredients in them. Kids could have heart issues or some other conditions where an OD is dangerous on anything.

Likely many dog and cat deaths too due to the Xylitol that's used as a sweetener in gummy vitamins and supplements.

CBD used in melatonin gummies can harm cats and dogs too, and melatonin isn't good for some with health issues. Melatonin though is often used for animal health issues too, and is safe in appropriate therapeutic doses - but not something with all the additional ingredients.
