A word to the wise to our regular readers - there's a motto embedded in this new publicity:
Fact: Just 1 Minute in the Sun Continues to Damage Your Skin for Hours
We're shining the harsh light of truth here! But maybe we need a new feature - JustOneMinute After Dark. Or in the dark, more likely...
GOOD POINT! Yeah, there's no mention of two minutes and brain damage, so we have that going for us.
First again

This is a post I can relate to completely
I am fair skinned with Irish coloring so I have been hiding in the shade for years
When the kids took swimming lessons I had to sit out of the sun no socializing just waved hello to my friends and headed for the trees

10 to 4 is the crucial time to seek shelter from the sun wear a hat and put on sunblock
Don't forget your ears and the arm outside of the car window when driving

Cosmo. I didn't know I would get Cosmo at JOM.
I'm not sure what's real any more.

We used to fry ourselves in baby oil and Hawaiian Tropic without the danger alerts. But that was when there were greater atmospheric shields. Hmmm. How might climate denialists recoup our virgin skin?

TM's reading Cosmo? Are you feeling alright TM? You're not going Katie Maguire on us or anything? NOT THAT THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG WITH THAT.

I disagree
Many gas
Ily members and friends have standing appointments with dermatologists to either cauterize or burn off precancerous skin tissue
Thus far I have been spared though I do have a lot of freckles on my arms for protection

Should be family members though some can be full of hot air at times
The only ones spared in my family have Slovenian skin inherited from my mother

I, for one, enjoy the list of health concerns troubling TM.

I can get sunburned in less than a minute (or so it seems).

from Jan. 2014 - Rickets soar as children stay indoors: Number diagnosed with disease quadruples in last ten years

"New figures from the NHS show there were 833 hospital admissions for children suffering from the condition which is caused by a lack of Vitamin D in the financial year 2012-13.
Ten years earlier the figure was just 190.
Some experts fear that parents obsessing about protecting their children from sunlight, which boosts the body’s level of the key vitamin, has led to the rise."

I feel it almost immediately
It's like a warning to cover up
You must be proactive especially if you are a runner and don't think the sun is getting to you
Overcast days are dangerous
I used to tell the high school girls I taught
Get out of the tanning booths

They need to drink more milk and put the soda and water bottle down
Posted by: maryrose | June 11, 2015 at 05:54 PM
Did you know with certain medicine the sun is can cause an adverse reaction
Posted by: maryrose | June 11, 2015 at 05:55 PM
No, they really need to go outside and move their fannies.
Ours is the only culture where people drink milk after they are weaned.
(Nothing against milk consumption---I am a fan.)
