Yea imagine believing the life giving sun is harmful
Solar urticaria is a rare allergic reaction to sun exposure. The condition causes an itchy rash or hives that appear on any skin that has been exposed to the sun. The more skin that is exposed to sunlight, the more serious the reaction will be. There is no cure for solar urticaria.
I am allergic to the sun so it is a real condition. Vitamin D has improved it some and I take 10,000 IU's per day plus a Super K. My D level went from 25 to 60 and that allows me to very slowly acclimate to the sun so I don't react as quickly. I did not have this at all until about middle age so I really don't know how you become allergic...I just work with what I got.
Isolated incident.
Do some research...not as rare as you think.
I have / had this for 20 years. Was perfectly fine one day then all of a sudden started going into shock from it. I used to literally burn through my clothes. I had to wear really thick clothes or layers.
Just like transgender. Sure it exists. It’s Not the norm. I bet it’s a dietary imbalance. Probably eat a lot of seed oils.
Of course. But there are people pole my mom who won’t even go out for 30 minutes for a walk without sunscreen! Last time she took our kid out for like an hour on a moderate day, she came come literally cakes in sunscreen.
Note that just wearing clothing does not actually block the radiation of sunlight; normal clothing has a ton of holes that don't actually protect you. Actually same with hats too.
SPF clothing is very effective however, and sun sleeves if you only need to protect yourself for the short term on a hot day are good too
Your "farmer tan" doesn't mean that UV rays are blocked, it just means they're reduced so covered receives it in lower doses. SPF clothing is designed to have total protection from UV rays.
So why don’t I get a tan on my balls?
Because you wear underwear, I would assume? Unless you're going commando. Jeans are also tightly knit, if those are what you wear in the every day.
If you don't understand how light reflects off surfaces, you probably shouldn't try to discount what someone is saying.
Single layer "summer" clothing does indeed have holes but still provides limited protection. I wear a long-sleeve shirt for most of summer and occasionally pull the sleeves down if I start to burn (which is admittedly rare).
