All day in the sun...felt sick the next day?
I spent all day Saturday out in the sun. The weather was wonderful, not hot at all, about 72 degrees (This being why I am confused) I used Sunscreen successfully, except I forgot to put it on my neck and upper chest area...burnt pretty bad there:(
Sunday I felt horrible, sick stomach and so tired I could hardly do anything. I went to bed at like 730 last night!
What happen? It wasn't the heat, cause it was not hot at all!
I hope to spend more time outdoors this summer, so I am a little worried by my reaction to Saturday. Any advice?

I know you said it wasn't hot, but you can get quite dehydrated being outdoors in nice weather. You need much more fluid intake when you are outdoors most of the day. The small amount of sunburn you did get also would contribute toward making you dehydrated.
When I worked in ER several times we gave IV fluids to people with not-too-bad sunburns. It is amazing how dehydrated you can get in a short period of time, let alone all day.
