[QUOTE=xepherys]I just find it a bit odd is all. I mean, skin cancer, while perhaps not as easily "diagnosed" a long time ago, would have been easily NOTICED at least. And it seems to have just not been a big deal in the past until a few decades ago. QUOTE]

After a very mispent youth (I mean really stupid teenager), thinking I could tan, laying out with babyoil to help fry me... And after more than one episode of sun poisoning... Since my late teens, early 20s (I'm 41 now) any mole I get (and I get them) any new freckle I get (and i get them) has me trotting off to the dermotolitist for biopsies... Over the past two decades, I've had more than one 'scare'. Skin cancer has been known about for a long time... (it's kinda like teenagers who start smoking today, knows the odds of causing cancer, but they are too stupid to care) I knew about skin cancer as a kid - but I also beleived that it woudl never happen to me -- Now i can only hope...

As an adult, i won't leave the house without a moisturizer with some matter of SPF in it... or sunglasses on a sunny day... why take the risk.
