Try this for a start, and dispel a very tiny portion of your massive ignorance https://www.skincancer.org/skin-canc...n-cancer-facts I'll tell you what causes skin problems, people who aren't used to the sun going out in the sun. All these morons buying suncream and staying pasty white. I never use suncream, my skin gets used to it and gets tanned, and I never ever get burnt. Of course it does. So what. I also did that, one year. But if you look at 40 year old women who ski etc all the, and are suntanned all the time, you'll observe that their skin is ****ed. If you go out in the sun a lot, you can get a bit wrinkly, but you need a LOT of sun for that. In any case having a suntan is naff, like having tattoos. Having no tan makes you look ill and pasty, like Queen Victoria. It also means you lack vitamin D. And going out in the sun can give you bad sunburn, which is what we are talking about. Do try to stay focussed. I already explained you can't get sunburn unless you go in the sun more than you have before. Or you usually use suncream, then forget. I never use suncream, so my skin is used to the amount of sun I always get. -- Bumper sticker seen on a B-2 Stealth Bomber: "IF YOU CAN READ THIS, THEN WE WASTED 50 BILLION BUCKS." |

Everyone I know goes red well before they've had too much. Some quickly, some not, but there's always a warning. In fact if you managed to get burnt in 15 minutes, you have some seriously ****ed up skin.

Sunstroke doesn't cause anything like what you're thinking of. Good to know you've investigated what did cause it. Care to share your conclusions? So others can take steps to avoid it. Yeah, idiot! THAT's what the Scottish attention whore likes! Give her ALL the attention she will ever need! tsk Now you are using being female as an insult.

Different isotopes of the same element have differing numbers of neutrons in the nucleus of each atom (same number of That's what I expected... protons). Thus, the density and possibly other physical properties will differ slightly and maybe enough to affect transport through the plant. but that makes sense too; Huge's link specifically mentions water with different hydrogen isotopes. |
