Tanning beds What you really need to know about indoor tanning beds….
Sweden Study • Included in study: different people all under the age of 30, male & female. • Used beds more than 10 times/year=7times more likely to develop malignant melanoma. • Risk increases 300% for occasionally using beds. • Risk increases 800% for using more than 10 times/year.
UVA vs. UVB • Longer wavelengths that penetrate deep into the dermal layer of skin . • Over exposure leads to skin-damage and/or disease. • Penetrate skin, melanin granules are oxidized and tan, or turn gold/brown. • “Burning Rays” more dangerous than UVA. • Tanning beds/ sun lamps emit 93%-99% radiation. • Rays “pop” capillaries just beneath the surface of the skin.
Harmful Effects • Skin Cancer: Malignant melanoma, numerous health problems. • UVA rays destroy skin fibers and damage elasticity. • Long-Term: pre-mature again and wrinkles. • Damage to the immune system, weakening of the skins inner tissues, and other types of skin cancers.
Malignant Melanoma • The deadliest form of skin cancer. • With Early Detection treatment is possible. • Begins on surface of skin, starts when melanocytes are damaged( the cells that give hair, eyes, skin color.) • Cells begin to grow rapidly. • May begin on surface or start on the skin, under a nail, and even in an eye, mouth or genitals.
RISK FACTORS • (Research shows that the following risk increase probability of getting cancer.) • Fair, sun- sensitive skin that tans poorly • Red/blonde hair or blue/green eyes. • Having 50-100 moles • History of sunburns or use of indoor tanning • Blood relatives that have had melanoma • Immune system weakens, due to disease • 50 years of age and older.
Protect Yourself • Apply a broad- spectrum of water resistant sunscreen • Wear protective clothing • Seek shade • Use extra caution near water, snow, sand because of reflection. • Avoid tanning beds
Obama • In July 2010, Obama will start the 10% tax on tanning beds. • Why? • 1. to get money • 2. Hope to STOP people from using the beds. • 3. Result of U.S. health care over haul signed into law by Obama.
At Fredonia's Tanning Bed You May Spend… • $10/month=$120 year. • $169.99 for a year (365 consecutive days) • $79.99 for 3 months (90 consecutive days) • $39.99 for 1 month (30 consecutive days) • $10.00 for 1 week (7 consecutive days)
Plus… • Minimal: Friday & Saturday @ Sonny's= $10 Plus maybe $10-$20 for illegal substances=$20-$30. Moderate: Thursday, Friday, Saturday @ Sonny’s= $15. Plus maybe $15-$30 for illegal substances= $30-$45. Excessive: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday @ Sonny’s=$20 Plus maybe $20-$40 for illegal substances= $40-$60
Adding your Expenses • You can do the math.. • Tanning is a waste of money. • Money you are wasting on killing your self slowly. • Plus the 10% tax Obama is adding! Save your tanning money for maybe a few more fun nights at Sonny’s….
Just Stop • The majority of the human race is pale during the winter. (JOIN THE WORLD AND BE PALE) • You stand out more when your “baked” in the winter. (YOU LOOK FAKE) • You are damaging your body inside and out.(YOU ARE TAKING 10 YEARS OFF YOU LIFE) • You are wasting money, in July you will be wasting more money. (THE GOVERNMENT IS MAKING YOU PAY TO KILL YOUR BODY)
