Yesterday I went with the track team to it's first outdoor meet.  I packed for the meet the night before and made sure to put in aspariin, sunscreen, allergy pills.  When I was going through the medicine cabinet picking out those things I also saw a tube of Icy Hot.  I figured it wouldn't hurt anything to throw that in as well.

When I got to the track meet the sun was just starting to come up so I decided to lather on the sunscreen. Right when I began digging around in my bag, one of the athletes started asking me a question.  I looked up to answer him and then felt the tube of sunscreen.  I answered his question took the tube out of the bag and closed the bag up.  Then I opened the tube and started squeezing out some of the lotion onto my finger.

I always start with my ears and make sure to cover every single square milimeter of them.  Then I rubbed some of the lotion onto my neck.   I also hate it when I get my cheeks sunburned so I rubbed some lotion on them as well.  Last but not least I needed to protect my nose.  So I put some of the sunscreen on my nose and started working it in…

At the exact same moment I became aware that my ears were starting to feel funny and that the sunscreen smelled funny.  So I looked down at the tube and wouldn't you know it…

10 minutes later I thought my face was going to melt off.
