Nowdays, she says even 1-hr in the sun makes her break out in a red rash......sun poisening, maybe?
We lose melatonin as we get older. It is the way our body makes a tan as opposed to a bad burn. Lighter hair lighter eyes always have less. Less to work with over a lifetime of exporsure.
Your friend never had enough melatonin and now she is lucky she is just getting a rash.
