Sunburn is a type of burn that you get when you spend too much time in the sun without wearing sunscreen. Bad sunburn can be extremely painful, and can make your skin blister and peel. You treat sunburn the same way as any other minor burn, with special burn creams and even anaesthetic sprays. Too much exposure to the sun makes your skin age early and become dry and wrinkly, and can give you skin cancer.

Sundews are a large family of carnivorous plants. They catch insects on sticky glands on their leaves and digest them. Sundews live in poor soils and need the nutrients from insects that they cannot get from the soil. They get their name because the sticky substance they produce looks like beads of dew.
