This past weekend my friends and I went rafting on a 100 degree weekend in the sun for hours. When I got home I realized I had bumps all over my body and they ich horribly. I tried soaking in a baking soda bath and it helped a little but I need some thing stronger because the ich came back. Im desperate for any advise please.

Actually, aside from needing medical attention, (which you do!!!) you can try vinegar. Blot some with cotton balls. Also try some plain aloe vera gel, it will be very cold! Or try some Lanacaine. It has some sort of benzocaine in it which will also help with the pain.

I had that about 20 yrs ago and had to be hospitalized because I fell asleep in 103 weather..My eyes were blistered shut not to mention my body.It didnt seem to bad til the 3rd day and I was in really bad shape. I cant be out in the sun at all now..See a dr.

you should go to the doctors. Sun poisoning is not something you want to mess around with. If your skin still feels warm then you def need to get to the docs. Because you could have serious complications.

I've heard tea works. Buy a box dump it in water in the tub and soak.

You need medical attention.
