They have some sunblocks, but the clothing is quite good, too. Mom used it when she was on doxy.

Hi Doc

Google-- Photo Toxic--

I had it Super bad --the light from
my computer monitor burned my skin-

I could not go out side at all--
Felt like I was being Microwaved on High--

I used to have real nice skin --Ouch-

ANY amount of Citrus or Cranberries
will cause this effect-one TSP--
Orange soda --lemon in tea--

Even 3 drops of Grapefruit seed extract-
caused me to burn--

It took several month after I quit
eating citrus for the bad light effect
to go away--

Damage from the burns is perty much
perminiate --Ouch--

Now light dose not bother me at all --

Blue Lizzard Sun Block is supposed
to help- I have not used it tho --
Its from Down Under --

Also ware Dark clothing it helps--

I know your pain--Jay--

In addition to Sun Grubbies, there's a good catalog and website (and a couple of stores) by Sun Precautions. You can find them at www.sunprecautions.com.

While on Doxy, sunblock just didn't help me enough. I had to buy the SPF clothing from Sun Precautions - everything from long-sleeved shirt to hat to gloves.

Remember to protect your hands while driving - I got burned terribly on my knuckles from driving just from the sun through the window.

I do use the Blue Lizard sunblock now just for my everyday sunblock, but had used some other brands while on Doxy and still burned.
