Why Do People Use Tanning Rooms If They Know They Are Dangerous?
AlamoVampire replied to Spacescifi's topic in The Lounge
Centers for Disease Control disagree. American Cancer Society. PubMed as well. Here is s 2013 paper archived in the National Library of Medicine. A word on the subject from the World Health Organization. Care to see what Skin Cancer dot org has to say? How about how UV radiation is used as a waste water disinfectant? EPA fact sheet on it. A Critical Review on Ultraviolet Disinfection Systems against COVID-19 Outbreak: Applicability, Validation, and Safety Considerations. How about a video on how UV kills microbes? Keep in mind that this is not even close to the doses given by the Sun. Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety talking about welding and UV radiation from arc flashing in welding. Do not underestimate the carcinogenic or mutagenic power UV has. There are talks and petitions to outright ban teens from using tanning beds as UV radiation is that absolutely dangerous. Yes you can mitigate risks but cannot avoid them. Now, having provided information over and over this formally marks the final commenting post I will be making on this thread. I am done. I am walking away. I know the risks of UV and have seen first hand the results of those risks. Take heed of those risks or not, its your choice but never dismiss the risks because you think they somehow do not apply. Fare well. May we commiserate in other threads but here in this one I exit. 1830007242023 -

Why Do People Use Tanning Rooms If They Know They Are Dangerous?
AlamoVampire replied to Spacescifi's topic in The Lounge
Neither my grandfather received sunburns to his scalp nor has my father to his face to any substantial degree yet BOTH suffered confirmed skin cancers. I am by blood of Norwegian, Swedish and Irish heritage and have been burned by the sun so I know beyond any doubt that I am at risk myself. You tout those studies as if they guarantee you a life free of skin cancer so long as you avoid sunburn. I can beyond doubt state with absolute certainty you are 100% wrong. UV-A and UV-B need not BURN to increase your risk. Think Im joking? Verify my claim. I in-fact INSIST ON IT! The embedded link is from The American Cancer Society. Hand-wave all you wish but reality is UV is a known risk factor that never needs burn you. I am now walking away having said what I needed and gave advice, I will ignore any response you try here on this subject for we have reached the impasse of fact vs denial. 220607232023 011807242023 -

@tater I think you are underestimating the risk of UV-A and UV-B radiation present in sunlight. My grandfather had skin cancer cryogenically removed from his head. I cannot recall the type of skin cancer he had. My father in recent years had to have basal cell carcinoma surgically excised from his right cheek which has left a noticeable scar. The common link between them? Spending decent amounts of time outdoors. Both (grandfather passed in 06) are/were avid golfers. My own mother would routinely require cryosurgery to remove precancerous lesions from her which resulted from repeated exposure in her youth to forced tanning by her mother when my mom was a child. In the last few years (5-7) she has not been to her dermatologist and I doubt her care facility would take her there now. What do all 3 of my relatives also have in common beyond bring lighter skinned? The majority of the UV exposure was in northern latitudes in Ohio and Michigan. Yes my father has also received UV damage here in the state we live in now (southern state) but that only increases risk. I STRONGLY encourage you to see a dermatologist to be on the safe side. From what I can see in your post it seems you share similar risk factors as my relatives along with the belief that its not as big a risk as it actually is. But I only can speak from what Ive seen happen to my own family. My advice is just that, advice from a rando hoping the best for you and any who read my words. 212107232023 -

AlamoVampire replied to Spacescifi's topic in The Lounge
Well i think it boils down to a few things: 1. Vanity driven by impossible beauty standards 2. a refusal to or inability to fathom long term risks 3. a byproduct or coconspirator to point 2 is a misplaced belief that skin cancer wont happen to them. bottom line its not worth cooking yourself either the old way by direct solar means or tanning bed. 001507232023 -
