If asked about burns, most people would not mention sun-burns as a major threat to health. Sun burns are the most common type of summertime burns and are the easiest to prevent.
A sunburn is a burn to living tissue, which is caused by over-exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, commonly from the sun's rays. Usual mild symptoms in humans include reddish skin that is hot to the touch, general fatigue, and mild dizziness. Excess amounts of UV radiation can be life-threatening in extreme cases. Excessive UV radiation is the leading cause of primarily non-malignant skin tumors or skin cancer. The application of Sunscreen is widely agreed to prevent sunburn.
Burns are painful, burns can be permanent and burns can be prevented. BEE SAFE! Use SunScreen.
