have you considered the possibility that you are becoming a vampire
like what happened to nicolas cage?
Nick C. IRL? Ghost Rider maybe. Vampire? IDK
I really don't know what my deal is. I do take at least one medication (total 15 but never checked any of the others) that I KNOW makes me more sensitive. But this problem started when I was just taking various nutritional supps. I suppose there are some that might have similar side effects but I never checked.
At this point it's safe to assume I'm not really what you would want to call and "outdoorsy" person. I spent a few years in a non-pedophile scout troop and that pretty much maxed out my 'outdoors and nature' quota for this life and the next.
That's not to say it wasn't a blast, mostly. I suffered sub-zero temps for a weekend in a survival exercise. Splelunked a bunch of caves in PA (they've got some nice ones that aren't open to the public because anyone without at least some training stands a good chance of dying or getting lost - sorta same-same), hiked Jockey Hollow, used a really repulsive latrine at summer camp. Almost drowned trying to swim. But I did learn to float indefinitely on my back which saved my precious buttocks that time in FL when I got caught in an undertow.
I could probably go on but you get the idea.
Also, i had meningoencephalitis when I was 6 and that tends to make you a bit photosensitive - but just the eyes. I was probably the only 15 year old always wearing a lid and shades.
And it looks like they're comin' around the bend to the long awaited point.
So . . . bottom line, I'm a house cat.
edit: this is sort of relevant from a psych POV. That time in FL was in mid-August. Mid-day, I decided to sit out by the pool. Idiot, idiot, idiot. Less than 15 minutes later, I had probably one of the worst burns you're likely to see. No joke about the time. It would have been longer but some lovely couple came out to warn me. I don't even want to imagine . . .
What exactly is sun poisoning. I don't think I got it because I didn't need any treatment, but I was in absolute agony for a couple of weeks. Then the skin on my chest and stomach started to peel off in letter to legal sized sheets. OMG, finally, sweet release.
