@miriamrobern I live in a beach town in Oz. Every summer there is the slow game of spotting the first sunburn, then the first double sunburn, then the first triple sunburn and, sometimes, rarities like the quadruple sunburn.
Then there are thong burns (footwear, not underwear), sandal burns, baldie burns, sunnie burns (where people got burned all around their sunglasses and look like raccoons), squiggle burns and stripey burns (too-hastily applied sunblock) and sleeper burns (where people fall asleep on the beach and get one side burned) and so on... endless variation. And those are just the visible ones.
If the wildlife doesn't get you, melanoma will. Slip, slop, slap, people!
