with a doctors not you can get waivers in most states that have window tinting restrictions. I was able to keep my heavily tinted windows in Texas with one and it helped tremendously

Yes even through my clothing I wear a hat and a lot of sun screen.

All the time. Arizona is not a good place for not being in the sun. I even get them from the sun coming through the car windows. At home I always have the blinds closed

oh yeah. Mild sun causes a rash that feels like a burn and if I don't get out of the sun at the first sign of the burning I will get a welt that turns into a lesion that seems to take forever to heal. Living in Texas I kept a vampire lifestyle pretty much. Try to keep with the sun screen, hats, light long sleeves, sun glasses and tinted windows.
