Do you have any tea? Instant or tea bags will do. Make a batch of very strong tea and let it cool. Dip old rags into it and put on your sunburn.(Cover up anything you don't want stained, like upholstery, etc. As soon as one rag gets warm, dip another into the liquid. Keep this up until the tannic acid in the tea draws the "heat" out. Don't put it into the fridge, as you might get chilled from the heat of the sunburn. Good luck. You may still peel, but the pain will go.
