STAY HEALTHY:
Avoid Too Much Sun
By Dr. J. A. Sanford
Medical Director, Fieldcrest Mills
Vacation time is upon us again. We
look forward to it from one year to the
next, yet how many spoil it by getting
too much sun.
The acquiring of a sun tan must be
done gradually. The ultra-violet rays
of the sun form new skin pigment,
thereby tanning the skin. A good sun
tan is acquired by repeated exposures
to the sun of increasing duration so that
at no time is there burning.
The natural skin pigment is a deter
mining factor in tanning. Brunettes tan
faster and are more resistant to burning.
Blondes and redheads have difficulty
getting a tan and some never do tan.
Overexposure to sun rays causes sun
burn, which may vary from mild to
severe. If a burn is severe enough it
may cause a systemic reaction, with
chills, then fever, nausea and vomiting.
Remember the sun can most easily
burn between 10 a.m and 2 p.m. It is
also possible to get a bad burn on a
cloudy day because the clouds do not
filter out ultra-violet rays. At the beach
the reflected rays from the water in
crease the possibility of sunburn.
The use of sun tan preparations will
aid in screening out the burning rays
and make possible quicker tanning.
However, use only preparations which
you have used previously and know to
be safe for you. Some people are aller
gic to sun tan lotions and may get se
vere reactions.
Wear protective glasses when sun
bathing.
Try not to overexpose and burn. But

if you do, consult your physician if the
burn is severe.
There are also some people who de
velop a skin rash from exposure to the
sun. There are preparations available
in the form of lotions or creams which,
if applied prior to exposure, will prevent
sun rash.
