Ultraviolet (UV) Rays - 3 types
UVA: Present all year around, and all day. Pass through windows. Penetrate deeper into the skin than UVB rays.
UVB: More intense in the summer, at higher elevations, and closer to the equator.
UVC: The strongest and most dangerous UV rays. Filtered out by ozone layer.

Our Skin - what’s the big deal?
Largest organ of our body
Covers internal organs, protects them from injury
Prevents loss of too much water and other fluids
Helps body get rid of excess water and salts
Barrier for microbes like bacteria
Communicates with brain, gateway for sensing temperature, touch, and pain

How about indoor tanning?
Source of intense UVA and UVB radiation
World Health Organization declared indoor tanning devices to be cancer-causing agents of the same category as tobacco.
Using indoor tanning before age 35 can increase your risk of melanoma, one of the deadliest of skin cancers, by 59%. Your risk increases with each use.
Use can result in permanent skin damage.

What happens when our skin gets sick?
Skin cancer
Disease of the DNA within skin cells
Most common type of cancer in the United States
Over last 30 years, more people have had skin cancer than all other cancers combined
One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime
One in four is younger than 40 years old
Each year, more than 5.4 million cases of common skin cancers are treated in the United States
Do you know someone with skin cancer?

One of the most serious and deadly forms of skin cancer, if not diagnosed and treated in time
Originates in the pigment-producing melanocytes
Melanoma

Be smart about melanoma
One blistering sunburn when young can double a person's chances of developing melanoma; more sunburns, more risk
Every six minutes, one new case of melanoma could be diagnosed in the US this year
The number of new melanoma cases has more than doubled in the last 30 years; Montana’s rate is growing nearly seven times faster than US overall
Melanoma is the most common cancer for women age 25-29, and the second most common for age 15-29
