Too much tanning?

[gymrat]

Someone told me that there was this youg girl wanting to look good for her graduation, and have a really dark tan.

So as the story goes, she went from one tanning salon to another over the course of the day. To make a long story short, she cooked herself from the inside out. Virtually cooking her organs.


Does a tanning bed bake you from inside out?

and avoid eating pop-rocks with a fizzy drink

Serious?

What you heard was a myth

How does the tanning bed work?

Kind of like the sun

I will explain in brief

There are 3 types of ultraviolet rays: UVA, UVB, and UVC

UVC rays are very dangerous and can cause extreme damage to your skin

There are no UV-C rays emitted from tanning beds

UVB/A rays are not as dangerous but will cause burning when the skin is overexposed

Tanning beds primarily use filtered UVB/A rays - making them a little safer than the sun

So you get in the bed - your skin cells are then bombarded with UV (Ultra-violet) radiation

This UV radiation damages the DNA of your skin

Your skin in self defence then produces more melanin

melanocyte's produce the melanin to be exact

this new melanin absorb UV protecting your body

this results in a tan

capiche?

microwaves cook from the inside out...incidentally,while speaking of microwaves..I remember reading about how cockroaches could survive nuclear fallout..so back when microwaves were relatively new..i developed a test for this..yep,I put a cockroach in the microwave on high power..fucking A,that bastard survived for about a full minute..so next i did a frog..frog lasted about 2 seconds and lept out of the bowl when I cut the power..he was gone..kinda warm too..i stopped experimenting at this point
