Like a good boy I subscribed my mother to one of the papers that carries my column. Later I asked her how she liked it. She said, “It’s fine, son. I like most of ‘em but those where you ramble on about cow diseases and stuff like that I really don’t find near as interesting.”
Well, bear with me, Mom, here goes another. Summertime brings with it bathing suit ads, lawn mower commercials, kids home to help with the chores, mosquito’s, firecrackers and photosensitization. Photo: light; sensitization; sensitive to. Sensitive to sunlight. And that is an understatement. We’re talkin’ hard core, fourth and goal, damn the torpedo’s, all ahead full sunburn. Not to be confused with true sunburn or snowburn.
The animal is sensitized to the sun’s rays so that even a lot of the weaker rays can cause damage. An animal cannot be sunburned through a window glass but can be photosensitized through it.
