The FDA has issued a new sunscreen proposed rule that guides sunscreen testing and labeling.  It wants sunscreen sold in the U.S. to promote head-to-toe sun protection with a Drug Facts Warning.

Basically, it means that sunscreen is not enough.  The FDA wants us to avoid too much sun when possible, wear protective clothing, and then use an effective sunscreen.  I like the SunPrecautions.com clothing:
- Ultra Athlete Full Zip Shirt
- Adult Shade Cap with Crossover Drape
- Hand Guards
- consider their Travel Parasol too
- consider their Ultra Athlete Pants too

Your pal, Switchback
