Though extended exposure to the sun typically does not concern most people, it is crucial to always shield children, infants, and those with sensitive skin. The intensity of the Sun's UV radiation during midday suggests reducing time spent outdoors. Sun-protective clothing, a long-sleeved shirt and pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and UVA and UVB-blocking sunglasses are particularly helpful in blocking UV radiation's harmful effects. Heed this!
