Read this:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18348450

“Cutaneous malignant melanoma is the most rapidly increasing cancer in white populations.”

and

“Epidemiological studies have confirmed the hypothesis that the majority of all melanoma cases are caused, at least in part, by excessive exposure to sunlight. In contrast to squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma risk seems not to be associated with cumulative, but intermittent exposure to sunlight.”

Here in Australia, melanoma is a huge problem. I speak from experience – my uncle died from it and my father is currently fighting it. I myself have had 3 suspect moles removed.

And women should know it isn’t pregnancy but the first few weeks of finding yourself holed up in a nursery on an ugly glider with no one to talk to that you truly lose your mind.
