Is mino as bad as doxy as far as sun burn? I am starting mino soon and with all the nice weather about to start I am worried about burning.

I burnt on doxy, but was hoping mino may not be as bad.

Any experiences?

Hi Robi,

I am to start mino too. Dr. S told me that it is sun sensitive like doxy. So just take the same precautions to be safe.

Protect your eyes even if you don't feel it on your skin.

Good luck on the mino.
