A public meeting tonight at the Lily Lake Pavilion will hear about the dangers of tanning. Saint John dermatologist, Dr. Douglas Keeling tells CHSJ News you don't have to get a sun burn to damage your skin. Just getting a tan will also do that.
Dr. Keeling is a firm believer in using sun screen even if you're not laying out in the sun. He also warns tanning beds give off more ultraviolet radiation than the suns and as such are more intense. Dr.Keeling goes on to say they are classified by the World Health Organisation in the same high risk category as plutonium, asbestos, arsenic and even mustard gas. Tonight's meeting gets underway at 7:00.
