What he says is true, there's not enough opium in lettus to be effective. Here 
is something else you can do.  Eat a bunch of hot, spicy foods like picante 
sause or halipenos. It will burn your tongue and your body will produce 
endorphins to deaden the pain.  The endorphins will spread to all areas and 
preduce the effects of opium.  Have you ever watched somebody eating hot 
foods, they know damn well it is burning them, but somehow they can't seem to 
stop. Common sense would tell you to stop doing something that burned you, 
and yet you go on and on until it runs out.  I assume it the effect of 
producing endorphin that produces this masochistic behavior.

Bill, you can keep those spicy dishes to yourself, young man!!! On top of 
sunburn, i don't need my tongue on fire as well!! (gryn) I have to say, 
though, the people that have tried the lettuce cure seemed quite pleased with 
the pain relief. Hopefully, I won't need a sunburn cure anymore...think I 
learned my lesson last time, and it was NOT fun!!!  :)
Let's go camping soon,
