Attention!

This is the time when children and teenagers are excited for, IT IS SUMMER! Summer has arrived. This means long fun-filled days for many. The people are excited for vacations, beach and pool parties. People have a chance to take a rest from the busy and exhausting school and work. The weather is so appropriate to go out from the house and stroll around the city. But to much good is bad. We all know that sun emits light rays that have ultra-violet rays that merely affect our skin. We don’t care, because we want and desire only to enjoy summer.

The so much excessive exposure to sun may cause sunburn. This is so painful and so irritable. Redness of skin, pain and peeling of skin are some of the effects. It is only less than 15 minutes for the light-skinned and about an hour for dark-skinned person to get sun burn. Skin damage cause by sun burn might not so negligible but if we will not give attention to it would come severe. Blisters will occur with fluid accumulation and peeling of large areas of skin. In conclusion, anywhere from first to a third degree burn might come along. Everyone, even dark skinned persons, are at risk for sunburn.

These are some precautions to avoid Sunburn and the worst one melanoma, the skin cancer:

· We should limit the amount of exposure to sun.

· Avoid the worst and most intense sun hours. It from 10am to 3pm.

· A person must wear sun screens and UV filtering sun glasses to protect the eye.

· Wear sunscreen when you are swimming in an outdoor pool and beach. You can get sunburns while swimming.

· Dermatologist recommends using sunscreens that has SPF of 30 or even higher.

· Sunscreens must be applied 15 to 30 minutes before going out into the sun and should be applied often.

· Apply lip balm to protect the lips fro, the harmful sun rays.

“Sick individual make a sick community, and sick communities make a sick world.”

These facts present squarely the problems of health the prevention rather than the cure of illness not only of the individual but also of the communities and the world.
