I actually ended up in the hospital in MoBay on my very first day and trip to Jamaica...with 3rd degree from tip of head to tip of toes. Needless to say, I have NEVER done that again. But, some local lady actually squeezed out the gel from an aloe plant and rubbed it on me. It's a lot different than the stuff you buy in a store. She then actually put some in a bottle for me to keep. Between that and a couple of Aleve, the pain was fairly manageable.
