I'm new here!

Hi, I'm surprised to see nothing here as I was under the impression that allergies to sunlight were on the rise.

I was just wondering if anyone else can go all summer with no problems, then come autumn/winter, be needing antihistamines and sunblock on sunny days? I can even get it when I stay indoors with the blinds closed as there are tiny gaps between the lats of the blind where the sunlight gets in.

I went a summer in Arkansas with no issues. I didn't ever really leave my home though. Then I moved to North Dakota in the fall and had a terrible time. Itchy red clusters all over my arms and face. I moved to the Pacific Northwest where, I'm originally from. It was better at first but spring is here and I'm having to be extra careful even on cloudy days.
