I hope at least one of the people I share it with learns something.

There were no videos like this when I was 16 and baby oil was the skin choice instead of sunscreen back then.

Woulda, shoulda, coulda.....

No matter what I've said in the past this is nothing with which to fuck around. Also excessive suntanning does make you look older, proven fact over the ages.

And if you think dark skin will protect you, think again. It doesn't. Go out in the sun and have fun, but wear a sombrero, that's why they were invented. You think Arabs want to wear those things on their head out in the sun when it's four thousand degrees out ? Hell no !. The fact is that they know something you don't.

One bad sunburn?? I got bad sunburns every month or two when growing up in the tropics, in fact so did my whole family. Skin peeling off in large flakes bad sunburns. the result? Nothing. Not a one of us has ever had any problems with melanoma, and we are all WAY past the age when the video implies it will inevitably strike.

Yes, it can develop, but its rare. The video makes it seem inevitable, tan and die! Its crap, somehow whole generations of people have tanned for thousands of years without being wiped out. This whole idea that sunlight is dangerous is just stupid. Its good for you.

Melanoma can kill. Quickly. I do not see how you can find fault in something trying to remind young folks, and not so young folks, to take care of their skin.

Course, I am a lily white freckled redhead that lives in Georgia. Maybe melanoma is more common down this way.

Anyhow, take a toke and breathe in and out!

ETA and check out that spot on ya elbow there! It might be something bad.

So "we're all the same under the skin" lol. But what of the skin ? Even skin color doesn't seem to mean much, much. Dark skinned people can get it but it's probably rarer, but those with freckles are supposedly more susceptible. But how do you know ?

All the same under the skin yet some get lung cancer without ever having smoked while others can smoke three packs a day for eighty years and never have a problem. Does that mean everybody should be encouraged to smoke ? Personally I am not worried about it, I'm actually more worried about what the sun can do to my eyes. But that's me.

There can only be a few reasons why this was not a concern in the past. Either the sun is stronger or we are weaker. Do you care which ?

BUT make sure you get ten minutes of sunlight a day without block on as often as you can. In the US the amount of people with vitamin D deficiences is skyrocketing, mainly from the overuse of sunblock and obesity. Drink your milk, get out in the sun for a walk around the block and get your levels checked. It is really painful, and not in the good way, if your body gets too low.
