This lack of sun results in mental illnesses, instability, and eventually, physical symptoms. Deaths are possible and have happened from this sun deficiency. It is a national health emergency that has been responded to by releasing and gouging the price of solance, leaving too many people behind. ITR is a project I’ve been working on for years.
