Summer is coming. Be sun safe!
Overexposure to the sun can cause health problems. Here is a quick overview of the major health problems linked to overexposure to UV radiation:
- Skin cancer (melanoma and nonmelanoma)
- Premature aging of the skin and other skin problems
- Cataracts and other eye damage
- Immune system suppression
Understanding these risks and taking a few sensible precautions will help you enjoy the sun while lowering your chances of sun-related health problems.
Here are some sun safety tips:
- Lather on the sunscreen (before you go out in the sun, reapply as needed)
- Put on a hat (one with a wide brim to protect face and neck)
- Wear sunglasses (with proper UV and UVB protection)
- Try to stay in doors between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. or be under cover.
Hope you enjoy a wonderful summer!
Students and parents don’t forget Tdap booster needed for school entry.
