The sun is the source of life on this planet; it is not foreign to us.
While some people do not tolerate the sun as well as others, actual disease is often the result of a malnourished body–or, in some cases, gene defects.
I suppose the most effective UV sun protection is living underground.
I’ll take my chances topside–using a skin-protecting lotion only when exposure is uncharacteristically intense or unusually prolonged.
