I just did a google search and found this:
SUN POISONING
Sun poisoning is a nonscientific term that refers to a variety of sun-allergic responses. Light-skinned people, who have less protective skin pigment, are especially susceptible to sun-poisoning, but it can occur in anyone who is exposed to enough sunlight. It often occurs when sun exposure is combined with a variety of drugs, chemicals, cosmetics, and plants.
The classic example of sun poisoning is sunburn. We all know that redheads suffer more from the effects of the sun's rays than the rest of the population. This is because their skin contains less melanin pigment, which is one of the body's main defenses against sunburn. Black people rarely suffer from sunburn because the pigment in the upper layers of their skin prevents the penetration of the sunburn rays to the sensitive, deeper layers.
The use of certain common drugs can alter the skin's normal protective response to the sun in some susceptible people. Such individuals develop a severe rash with blisters from the slightest exposure to sunlight or even fluorescent light. Drugs most commonly implicated in this type of reaction are sulfa containing drugs, tetracycline and its relatives, various tranquilizers, high blood pressure medications, birth control pills, and oral medications used for diabetes and fungus infections such as ringworm.
Direct contact with certain chemicals, followed by sun exposure also can cause sun poisoning. The most common substances that cause these "sun-allergic" responses are found in deodorant bar soaps, detergents, certain suntan lotions, shampoos, "first-aid" creams, and various cosmetics and toiletries. Even chemicals found in a variety of vegetables and fruits can cause sun-sensitive reactions. Gardeners and farmers who spend time in the sun and handle foods such as carrots, celery, parsnips, figs, and limes are especially susceptible. Sun poisoning has also been reported as a result of using herbal shampoos prior to sun exposure.
The symptoms of sun allergy consist of severe itching and a rash. They typically occur a few days after the combination of the chemical substance and the light. This sensitivity can be so pronounced that a minute amount of the offending substance left on the skin, followed by exposure to even fluorescent light, may trigger a reaction.
