We're not too troubled by skin cancer
January 8th 2008 23:03
Australia has the highest skin cancer rate in the whole entire world! No I'm not being alarmist, it's true- my delivery could use some work but what I've typed is true. What is also trust, according to this article, is that Generation Y are not heeding the warning signs and campaigns; it turns out we think we're Generation Immune from Skin Cancer, so typical of us. Well the older and presumably wiser persons we share this planet with have decided we are worth saving and re-educating. They've scoured their ranks and come up with its best geneticists, epidemiologists and psychologists from across the globe who will in turn work to produce a free, online calculator that Gen Y schmucks like you and I can use to work out our risk of developing skin cancer.
At this point in time I want to express my deepest thanks to the people that are working to make this possible because I am (seemingly) one of the few Gen Yers that understands the risk of skin cancer. Whether it's because I'm a natural redhead, a former hypochondriac, a mixture of both or something else, I know to stay out of the sun as much as humanly possible, wear sunscreen, shades and cover up as much as possible in this very Australian heat. What puzzles me is why others have not followed suit. Surely I'm not some super intelligent creature that understands the risk of skin cancer where no other does. If you've got a comment or theory I'd very much like to hear it.

My sister on the other hand has an olive complexion and tans up a treat. So she's very blase about being sunsmart!
Very silly.
I get that tanned skin looks good. But the only tan I ever get is courtesy of a bottle!
