The University of Maryland Medical Center offers this list:
- Children and babies are more sensitive to the sun and are more likely than others to get a sunburn.
- Anyone -- even dark-skinned people -- can get a sunburn. But fair-skinned people are at greatest risk.
- Your risk of a burn increases when you're near things that reflect the sun, including snow, water or sand.
- The harmful rays of the sun are strongest and most dangerous between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
- Certain medications, including antibiotics, can make your skin more sensitive to the sun.
