■ Classified Summer fun includes using good sun sense 'Healthy’ tan is misleading By George F. Sheldon MO, FACS The sun makes people feel healthy. Warm and Invigorating, the sun seems to give us energy. Some people even think they look good onlv when they have a suntan. They feel and look healthy. But the notion of a “healthy tan” Is entirely misleading. In order to get a suntan, you have to subject your skin to two types of rays from the sun - ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays. UVA is a long-wave radiation that penetrates deeply Into the skin and may contribute to skin cancer. UVB, a short-wave radiation, causes sunburn, premature aging, and wrinkling. UVB also causes suppression of the body’s immune function, one result of which Is suntriggered cold sores. Another difference is that ultraviolet B rays are most intense In the summer and during midday, while ultraviolet A is almost equally potent throughout the day and year - and it can even penetrate clouds and glass. Experts predict that as many as 12 mil lion cases of skin cancer and more than 200,000 skin cancer deaths will occur in the U.S. over the next 50 years. That's 12 million cases of potentially preventable cancer. Skin cancer is a preventable disease mainly because if you can change you atti tude about the importance of getting a sun tan, you can, for the most part, avoid the cancer-causing rays of the sun. Of course you can’t entirely avoid being exposed to the sun, nor would anyone really want to do that. But you can avoid the dangerous prac tice of lying for hours under intense burning rays at the beach or in your backyard. And if you profession calls for you to spend your day outdoors, you should begin to regard sun exposure as an occupational hazard and take the necessary precautions to protect your skin. Unfortunately, sunscreens play a limited role in skin cancer prevention. While there are products available that seem effective against UVB rays, very few sun-protection products contain the Only chemical ingre dient that has been granted approval by the Food and Drug Administration for its protec tion against UVA rays. However, using a sunscreen — especially one with a high Sun Protection Factor (SPF)~is better than not using anything at all. Despite the limitations of most sunscreen products, it’s only human nature to want to spend as much leisure time as we can out doors-especlally in warm weather. If you oc cupation places you outdoors, you‘11 inevitably be exposed to the sun throughout your work day. Therefore, you should make a point not only of protecting your skin, but also of becoming aware of the warning signs that signal skin cancer. When detected early, skin cancer is usually curable. According to the American Cancer So ciety, any unusual skin condition, especially change in the size of a mole or other darkly pigmented growths or spots, can be a sign that should be checked out. In addition, sca liness, oozing, bleeding, or change in the ap pearance of a bump or nodule; the spread of pigmentation beyond its border; a change in sensation; itchiness; tenderness; or pain are all warning signs of melanoma. See your doctor as soon as possible if you detect thll be 6,700 deaths this year alone from malignant mel anoma. Those are 6,700 people who very well could have been cured—100 percent cured, perhaps—had they detected some of the warning signals sooner. Don’t make the same mistake. Be alert, and see your doctor if you suspect that something may be wrong. The right knowledge and early detection are you best defense.

Help for sunburn sufferers What works against the pain of a sunburn? “According to the FDA, products with ingredients such as benzocaine, lidocaine, camphor, phenol and menthol will temporarily soother the pain of a mild bum,” says Dr. Harriet Jennings, extension clothing spe cialist at North Carolina State University. Moisturizers like co coa butter and petrolatum can help relieve the dryness when burned skin begins to peel. Check the list of ingredients on the product label. “Resolve to use a good suns creen,” Jennings says. “Dermato logists recommend an SPF (sun protection factor) or 15 for pro longed exposure.” Sunburn has been related to the development of skin cancer, wrinkles and age spots. “You’ll be in good company,” Jennings says. A Gallop poll done last year found that 45 per cent of women aged 18 to 49 are using more sunscreens with higher SPFs and spenind less time In the sun. ** RECRUITMENT ANNOUNCEMENT ** TAX SUPERVISOR Grade 67 Salary Range $18,936-$28/800 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER LOCATION: Perquimans County, North Carolina CLOSING DATE FOR RECEIPT OF APPLICATIONS: July 31, 1992, 5:00 pan.
