Sunburns: More or Less Ticklish?

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

I live in beautiful Florida. Besides being a foot/body/tickle-lover's paradise, I live near one of the most gorgeous beaches in the world. So, as is typical of the Spring season, I went out the other day and got a mild sunburn. My skin now seems inordinately sensitive, and while I haven't experienced a tickling session while sunburnt, I have a suspicion that I'd be even more ticklish than usual.

Thus, a poll to see if others have experienced this or a similar sensation.

my vote is none of the above--if I'm sunburnt, all I want is aloe with benzocaine and menthol and to be left the hell alone...

I think if someone started touching me at all, let alone trying to tickle me, while sunburnt, I'd probably make an attempt to end their life out of the pain I was going through...ouch...

Agreed. I don't want anyone near me when I'm sunburned.

Well, I did intentionally pose the question in terms of a "mild" sunburn. Naturally, if you're suffering from outright sun poisoning, you just wanna lay down and recover.
I just honestly think that, much as with other conditions that others have brought up in posts both here and another adult forum, certain states(like being a tad ill with a cold, or high) may in fact increase one's sensitivity. You may not WANT to be tickled in those states, but the fact remains that you may indeed be more susceptable.

If I sunburn, (which can happen quite frequently as I have very fair skin) the sunburnt area seems somewhat numb rather than sensitive. I very much doubt it would heighten any ticklish sensations in my case.
