Many people must read about that subject. This is not a joke ! The sun is more powerful year after year because of us ! We, the people of this planet have distroyed, step by step, the ozone protection. I think, the situationFor that reason, this information concerning the dangers of excessive exposure to uv rays are very serious. The sun is good for life, but not in exces.
Best wishes and congratulations !

Sabina, this article is useful in the field of medicine as you know I’m sure. And the writing styl appeal to a young demographic that is itself in danger of the threat of UV ray’s harmful effects, especially skin cancer. That goes for all the kids who tan themselves by the California beaches along the coast on summer days like these. Who wants skin cancer by the time they reach 30 ? Really well-written, I’ll bet you’re a damn good writer. I’m hoping to be either a journalist or magazine writer but I write fiction which hasn’t sold yet. Keep in touch with like-minded people!

Hey Sabina – great article on tanning. The UV range of the electromagnetic spectrum is quite useful for Analytical Chemistry, but very damaging to the C-G pairing of nucleic acids…interesting how mammals evolved to deal with this eh?

Please e-mail me so we can catch up (stephen.bozer@verizon.net).

I thoroughly enjoyed this article, but isn’t it obvious that tanning would release endorphins? Just by sitting on the beach with my clothes on, knowing I don’t have to be at work and I can relax is reason enough to be happy. I don’t even have to tan and I like it :) But of course I prefer being brown.

As one of your former mentors, I must warn you that all of this information concerning the dangers of excessive exposure to uv rays are indeed real and very serious. As a teenager and young adult I was obsessed with being tan all year round. And this was in the days when there weren’t tanning salons. So I purchased a number of tanning lights for the home, and continued to keep my golden tan year round. It wasn’t until many years later that I developed my first case of basal cell carcinoma in the corner of my eye lid. Then a number of years after that, the basal cell appeared on my chest. Now I visit my dermatologist once a year for a full body check to insure that there are no further problems due to my vanity as a young man. Trust me, the danger is very real. I am just grateful that the skin cancer that I have developed thus far was not a form of melanoma or any of the other more serious varieties.
Your article is an excellent lesson for all of us, Sabina. I am very proud of you !!!!!

We always here about skin cancer and why the skin is bad but it was interesting to read about endorphins and feeling good from tanning. I must admit, I am one of those who believes some sun makes a person look healthier and happier, but not when they overdo it!

I love spending time outdoors, but I don’t always protect my skin like I should. Since researching and writing this article, I have tried to be more aware of the health risks I often ignored because I didn’t have time to smother on the sunscreen or sit in the shade. Many of the dermatologists I spoke with told me that some UVL exposure is healthy and they don’t want to see people hiding indoors. Instead, they said the key is to be aware of health risks and realize that some people refuse to stop tanning even after they’ve had several melanomas removed!
I am interested to see what future studies will find. Who knows if dermatologists and addiction experts will ever agree on this one…
