EN: to get prickly heat; to get a heat rash
This is the official skin condition of summer in the Philippines. When you 'magkabungang-araw', your skin feels like a battlefield of tiny, itchy bumps. It's your body's way of saying, 'Bes, 'di na kaya ng aircon, 'di na kaya ng pamaypay, suko na 'ko sa init!' The only cure is a cold shower and a lot of baby powder.
From 'magka-' (to get/have an illness) + 'bungang-araw' (prickly heat, literally 'fruit of the sun').
