Since the Wilderness transformed into a nude beach, a number of you have taken advantage of its weather, which is warmer than most days up here in the tree. That's absolutely fine; you're all free to do as you will. But if you do go, please consider taking sunscreen with you. A number of people have gotten unexpected sunburns in places that don't usually see the light of day. At Medical Island, we have a number of topical creams that are soothing to burned skin, and if it's a really bad burn, the healers on staff may take action to ease symptoms sooner.
However. If you do suffer a bad sunburn in a sensitive area, the proper way to request treatment is not to drop your pants and grin in the middle exam room, then request a "laying on of hands." Not only will you not be healed, you're likely to walk away in need of other medical aid.
Thank you. That's all.
