I don't look good in cute summer dresses, otherwise I might have a different opinion of the season

what is prickly heat ? i'm pretty sensitive to the sun as well but i just wear a sunblock factor eleventy hundred or something.  (although if it's hot and humid i might have a bit of a reaction even with the sunblock.

It's also known, in the UK at least, as heat rash. It's an annoying, incredibly incredibly itchy rash that is apparently caused by pores getting blocked leading to an inability to sweat properly. It's apparently a lot more common in hot & humid conditions. However, as I get it only on exposure to the sun, and on areas that tend not to sweat, I think it's something else - maybe I'm just allergic to the sun

but that is the least of my worries because when it is hot and humid i tend to go all woozy and then faint like some overplayed character from a 19th century melodrama. i can't tell you how much i hate that).

I can seriously empathise with the woozy bit, although I tend not to faint. Thankfully.
