So...it suddenly all becomes clear....GSUS is working ......for Bill Gates.

You have to go thru India to get a hold of us.

And that brings us to the big question — why do some people suddenly react to sunlight, which, like air, has been all around us since we were born? “There are lots of factors and triggers involved in photosensitivity,” says senior consultant dermatologist, Dr. V. R. Janaki. “A small percentage of people are genetically prone to it, and it can typically start at any age. Besides, photosensitivity is not that uncommon today, as the use of scented soaps, perfumes, some drugs (anti-malarials, quinolones, some anti-diabetic drugs), along with exposure to sunlight, leads to it.”


Symptoms of allergy


“Sun allergy can range from a mild-burning sensation in the sun-exposed areas to polymorphous light eruptions,” says Dr. Janaki, adding that the latter manifests itself as anything from a pinpoint to eczematous rash, papule and plaques. “Diagnosis is easy, as the allergic reaction is confined to the sun-exposed areas. In sari-wearing women, for instance, it is the right side of the back and the arms that are chiefly affected; if they wear salwar-kameez, it's the face and both arms…”

But Indians are blessed — and that word is not used lightly — with melanin-rich skin (ranging, on average, between type 4 and 6, on a scale of 1 to 6, depending on the melanin content). “The melanin present in the skin itself affords protection,” explains Dr. Janaki. But for the active sufferers — and anybody who has experienced the problem will vouch for its nuisance value — a few simple measures can go a long way towards alleviating the daily suffering. http://www.thehindu.com/life-and-sty...cle3483452.ece
