San Diego, CA (PRWEB) December 7, 2004 -- SunGrubbies.com, a California
company dedicated to providing education and products in the prevention of skin
cancer, announced today the release of an enhanced online Health Resource
section devoted to information on winter skin cancer dangers and prevention tips
for residents and visitors in the Southern U.S.
“Millions of winter
sun-seekers are unknowingly jeopardizing their health”, reports http://www.sungrubbies.com
owner, Marta Phillips. “Ironically, it’s very possible that UV light can cause
more damage in the winter because people don't normally think of sun protection
or skin cancer during the colder months of the year. And snow on the ground,
high altitude and some medications increase the danger that winter time exposure
can lead to painful sunburn and skin cancer or Malignant Melanoma.”
The
new online resource site, packed with valuable information on the skin cancer
danger signs, latest research and prevention, is available for free by visiting
http://www.sungrubbies.com/healthresources.htm.
With
the incidence of skin cancer rising in the U.S., the use of only sunscreen can
provide a false sense of security, encouraging people to stay in the sun longer,
and increasing the dangers associated with overexposure to ultraviolet rays. The
solution is covering your skin with items specifically designed to protect you
from the harmful rays, including hats, bandanas, gloves, umbrellas, UV approved
sunglasses and clothing specially designed and UV rated for sun
protection.
Phillips goes on to add, "Good sun habits need to be a way of
life for optimum health and to reduce the skin cancer dangers associated with UV
radiation. By offering high quality, fun and great looking skin protective
products and education, http://www.sungrubbies.com is thrilled to be part of helping
everyone achieve that goal".
About SunGrubbies.com:
SunGrubbies.com, a
California company dedicated to providing education and products in the
prevention of skin cancer was founded by Marta Philips after she learned that
regular clothing does not provide adequate skin cancer protection, noting that
the average T-shirt blocks only about 50% of the sun's ultraviolet radiation.
The answer she found is specially designed sun protective clothing for adults
and children, which can be found at http://www.sungrubbies.com.
