Tanning Beds
Quote From: anonup "you can prevent burning in tanning salons" hmmmm.. not necessarily. I've seen plenty of people who have gotten burned using a bed in a tanning salon. My niece has already had a bout of melanoma (at age 21) and she's never had a sunburn in her life! Damaging your skin is damaging your skin - you get tan because you're cooking skin cells. I have read of benefits of exposure to the sun - but the exposure times are very short. Finally, not to be picky, but Romania gets sunlight - much of the country falls at the same latitudes as the Northern parts of the US. Tanning beds are NOT good for you!! I sure am glad I don't have your doctor for my dermatoligist. I loved to tan in tanning beds & outside. 21 months ago I had a small spot on my arm that was diagnosed melanoma. It didn't just stop there, tho. It spread to 2 lymph nodes & my breast. I live in fear everyday as to when & where it will come back. There is NO cure!! Think about that while you are relaxing in that tanning bed or charging others to use your tanning bed.
