Re: [RC] Photosensitivity (rider...) - Charles

Somehow, some years ago while searching for Thermal Underwear in 4X sizes
(Ulfrotte, http://www.gransfors.com/htm_eng/ullfrotte/index.html, or
www.ulfrotte.se) I ran across sun screening clothing.  I'm not sure how that
turned up, but it did.

I don't remember the place I first saw it, but I did a search on google, and
found these three places.  It should give you a lead.  I think Australia and
I would guess South Africa would be good places to look.  I'm guessing based
on being told they have some of the worlds highest rates of skin cancer.

Anyway, good luck.  If nothing else has changed, or if you haven't changed
medication or something, you might want to get a physical.  A couple of
websites suggested sun sensitivity as a side effect of some medical
conditions.  I didn't read enough to know if it was serious or not.

Hi all! I'm hoping some of y'all out there can give me some ideas on how

to

deal with this. Here recently I've developed photosensitivity. I've always
sunburnt easily, but now I sunburn *through* my clothing, while wearing a
hat, etc... Do any of y'all have this problem and what do you do? I'm
planning to try sunscreen and protective clothing, but if that doesn't

take

care of this looks like I'll be doing night riding until something

changes!

minutes... )
