Sunburn

Sunburn
"See, the thing is, I have very fair skin. I tend to burn very easily."
Dr. Rodney McKay[src]

A Sunburn is a type of radiation burn that effects the skin after overexposure to UV radiation.

History

Dr. Rodney McKay's skin tends to burn easily due to his very fair complexion. He made his own SPF 100 sunblock for protection. (SGA: "The Intruder", "Runner")

In 2005, McKay got a sunburn after Lt. Colonel John Sheppard flew them close to a star in a F-302 fighter-interceptor, to destroy a Wraith computer virus. When they returned to Atlantis, he noticed his nose was peeling and got moisturizer from Dr. Carson Beckett for it. (SGA: "The Intruder")

McKay was concerned about solar radiation exposure and his fair complexion on P3M-736's ultraviolet index due to it being around a thousand during the day, so he wore a Radiation suit and sunblock. (SGA: "Runner")
