Mel B Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 The dangers of NOT wearing socks when it is very sunny ... especially if your legs are not used to being exposed to the sun! These are the photos I have of hubby's legs, the first one was taken about 10 days before the other, in between taking these his legs, ankles and feet had swollen up massively and had great big horrible blisters all over them ... the doctor we saw in France thought he'd actually been in a fire as he had second degree burns! 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peter Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 1footinthegrave - 2013-07-25 8:18 AM Mrs T - 2013-07-24 11:51 PM Look pretty stupid when its not sunny, especially when they do not remove them when in conversation. If its too bright outside then stay indoors, please. With respect perhaps instead of airing your personal distaste of wearers of dark glasses ( like my next door neighbour has to) you may want to look up Photophobia. Patients may develop photophobia as a result of several different medical conditions, related to the eye or the nervous system. In some cases those who are born with it see the full spectrum of light. While in the direct sun light it causes red glare around the visual field which causes pounding headaches. Photophobia can be caused by an increased response to light starting at any step in the visual system, such as: Too much light entering the eye. Too much light can enter the eye if it is damaged, such as with corneal abrasion and retinal damage, or if its pupil(s) is unable to normally constrict (seen with damage to the oculomotor nerve). Overstimulation of the photoreceptors in the retina Excessive electric impulses to the optic nerve Excessive response in the central nervous system Common causes of photophobia include migraine headaches, cataracts, Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (MTBI), or severe ophthalmologic diseases such as uveitis or corneal abrasion. (!) By the way, you might want to change your avatar, that looks pretty stupid. ;-)Says the bloke with albert Steptoe as his avatar. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wear what is comfortable and who cares what the world thinks. Ah? I think we've found a man who wears socks with his sandals! (lol) ;-) Not only that, but they've got bob the builder logos on them. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest peter Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Mrs T - 2013-07-25 10:48 AM Great, that's livened up a dull Thursday morning. People are like sheep, nay worse than sheep cos sheep don't wear glasses. A pet comment of mine always was that 'People would buy dogs Sh** if it were presented in a pretty wrapper' .They do indeed, it's called a donner kebab. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then wallop a severe case of sunstroke (usually on his bald pate) anyhow hope he's recovered . Pp He's fine thanks (well his legs recovered! :D ) as this happened in 2007! We both got severe sunburn on a canoeing trip down the Ardeche - 8 and a half hours and about 27 kms, we had sun cream on but didn't realise the effect of the water which increased the sun's strength/brightness. *-) Fortunately mine weren't quite as bad as his but still very painful!!! My knees swelled up and filled with fluid, as did my ankles and feet, and my thighs also so much so that I couldn't even get my very loose fitting trousers on!!! The below were taken a day or so after the sunburn ... my legs don't look too bad in these ... but a few days later .... aaaarghhhhhhh!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
