“‘When I look back on the things I did when I was younger,’ says 49-year-old Kylee Baumle, a former sun goddess whose father and husband were recently diagnosed with skin cancer, ‘all those hours I spent working on my tan by the pool — I have to wonder, “What was I thinking?”‘ It’s a good question — and one that many are asking today’s teens and twentysomethings, who, despite repeated warnings about harmful UV rays, continue to flock to beaches and tanning booths. Melanoma is currently the second most common cancer among 20- to 29-year-old women, yet many continue to spend long hours ‘working on their tans,’ like the now-remorseful Baumle once did.” (05/31/07)
