The Sun - Risk to health?
This resistance results from the
brown pigment, melanin, being created
in the skin and providing a measure of
protection from ultra violet radiation.
It is this browning process that many
travel long distances and spend many
hours acquiring.
In order to avoid sunburn or skin
cancer it is important to treat the sun
with respect and follow the following
simple guidelines.
1. Keep out of direct sunlight when
ever possible and particularly during
the middle of the day. (Beware too of
reflected sunlight from water or snow)
