My nose is sunburned — I’m taking anti-biotics because they thought I had lyme disease because I got a tick bite and then a few weeks later I got a bulls-eye rash, but the blood test was negative so I guess I had something else, but in any case the antibiotic makes me prone to burning and I was at boy scout camp for a week and the last day we stood out in the sun a bit too long I guess, so now I have a red nose even though I didn’t have a drink.

But it doesn’t hurt.

Antibiotics increase everyone’s sensitivity to the sun, unfortunately. I’m on my 7th day of Augmentin for the catz bite, but since I never go out in the sun, it hasn’t hurt me.

I hope you had a good time at Boy Scout camp, at least, and I’m glad you didn’t get Lyme Disease. My mom had Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever in the early 90s, and her circulation has never returned to normal.
