## Resource

UK sun safety is dangerously off track: new research reveals one in five think sunburn is just part of tanning, while four in ten deliberately skip sunscreen. Almost half were blindsided by how intense the sun can be—even on mild days—and nearly 20% suffered burns requiring medical care, often on faces, shoulders, and arms. Alarmingly, half can’t spot skin cancer signs, and a quarter ignore new moles or rough patches. Only a third check their skin monthly, with a quarter never doing it at all. Melanoma, the fifth most common cancer in the UK, is preventable with early detection. Coventry leads in sunburn rates, while Sheffield tops sun-safe behavior—proof that awareness and routine checks save lives. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
