Long-term effects of tanning could be bad for sunbathers
By Amy Francis
'Healthy' look of suntan a misconception, dermatologists say
Kansan staff writer
With warm weather and the sunshine season approaching, students often are turning to getting a tan as a way to look healthy.
Dermatologists say that is a misconception.
"A darned skin is a damaged skin," said Lee Bittenden, Lawrence dermatologist. "I think the people who had it (iodine) cost the price later with damaged skin."
"Anytime you have a tan, you ve had damage." he said. "I'm starting to see more and more young people getting out in the sun more and more."
David Kaplan, Overland Park dermatologist, agreed.
"The problem with sunning is that it has a delayed effect."
The effects of tanning probably will not be seen until 20 to 30 years later.
Bittenbender said some of the effects were a loss of skin elasticity that causes wrinkled or sagging skin, which also damages the skin, liver spots and skin cancer.
The chances of skin cancer occurring increase if a blistering sunburn is experienced at a young age, he said.
Another problem with tanning beds is that the ultraviolet lights used are UVA rays that penetrate the skin more deeply than sunlight. Also, more eye injuries can occur if people do not wear goggles because the radiation in the beds is 10 times stronger than sunlight, he said.
According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 32,000 new cases of skin cancer and malignant melanomas will occur this year. The two combined will cause an estimated 6,500 deaths this year.
Mary Altenhofen, coordinator of the health education department at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said there would be an estimated 325 additional new cases this year. This is an increase from the estimated 200 new cases in 1989.
"That's not good," she said. "It'll probably increase."
Bittenbender said a possible reason for the increase in cases of skin burns from electrical contact is that
According to the American Cancer Society, people do not have to avoid sunlight completely, but steps should be taken to prevent damage.
"The problem with tanning beds is that you can damage your skin all year round." he said.
Kaplan said tanning beds could cause greater skin damage than just sunlight. People who use tanning beds should take extra care to have a greater chance of getting a
- Avoid the sun as much as possible between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m., because its rays are strongest then.
"There is something about that light that sets you up for greater damage." Kaplan said.
burn than if they had just tanned in sunlight, he said.
A person should wear sunscreen whenever in the sun. Damage can occur anytime regardless of the sea spray also can occur on cloud days.
- Wear protective clothing, such as a wide-brimmed hat and long-sleeved shirts.
- Wear sunglasses because the skin around the eyes is the most sensitive.
Two of Columbus' ships soon may be recovered

fourth voyage.
ST. ANN'S BAY, Jamaica — Archeologists say they may soon find the 500-year-old remains of two ships Christopher Columbus and his crew lived on for more than a year while marooned in Jamaica.
The ships, the Capitana and the Santiago de Palos, were the last ships Columbus commanded and would be the first recovered
Columbus abandoned the vessels on a beach when he and his crew of 115 were rescued from Jamaica on July 29, 1504, at the end of his ill-fated
The Capitana and the Santiago de Palos are thought to be buried under water, mud and sand at St. Ann's Bay on Jamaica's northern coast about 45 miles northwest of Kingston. Attempts to find the ships began in the 1930s.
Now, with sonar and new research of historical documents, nautical archaeologists have narrowed the search to a relatively small portion of
They hope to recover at least some of the ships' remains by next year.
Project director James Parrent of the Institute of Nautical Archaeology at Texas A&M University thinks the chances are good of finding well-prepared rocks because the ships ran aground in soft sediment and shallow water.
He said the recovery of the artifacts was important because it could provide new insights into shipboard life in the early 16th century and the ways of the Arawak Indians, who traded with Columbus.
