💁🏻♀️ TIL: ☀️🧴 A #JAMA #Dermatology meta-analysis pooled 17 studies covering more than 321,000 people and found that a history of painful, blistering sunburns raised the odds of squamous cell carcinoma by 51% to 69%, with severe #childhood burns linked to up to three times the risk.
Researchers caution that the evidence is uncertain because it relies on people recalling past burns. The study reinforces #sun protection such as Slip, Slop, Slap for #kids and #teens.

Sun's Rays Pose Growing Hazard; Public Awareness Lags
Warm weather brings higher UV Index warnings. Many people don't know how to protect themselves from sun damage and skin cancer risks.

UV Index levels can reach 11+ in warm weather, meaning extreme danger from the sun. This is much higher than the moderate levels seen in cooler months.

@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!
