One survey, from the Orlando Health Cancer Institute, found that 1 in 7 American adults under age 35 believe using sunscreen daily is more harmful than direct sun exposure.
Darwin is back in business.
My dad died from melanoma. You don’t want it. Or any other cancer. So don’t be stupid and protect yourself from the sun.
Yesterday it was posted that these same people are drinking raw milk and exposing themselves to bird flu because reasons and now it’s sunscreen. During the pandemic it was no masking and I’m curious what will come next. The mortality rate of this group brings us all down while promoting a possibly better future without them.
At least melanoma isn’t contagious.
No, but stupidity is…
Yet.
Right! It just takes one really aggressive melanoma on an otherwise exposed area making contact with exposed areas! And boom! You got contagious tasmanian face cancer!
I don’t believe sun screen is concerningly harmful (to humans; coral reefs may disagree), but I find a lightweight UPF rated long sleeve shirt and wide brim hat way more comfortable. And cheaper when you follow dermatologist recommendations for sunscreen application.
There’s also coral safe sunscreen, mineral based.
True! Too many nested parenthetical can make the comment hard to read (even though it’s my preference (most of the time)) though 🙃
I keep finding my comments have that deep parenthetical. Asides within asides.
Also much easier to apply.
