Can I get skin cancer in Asia?

[georgegeorgia]

So as a white skinned Australian it's known Australia has the highest skin cancer of the World because of the high ultra violent rays

 

I stay out of the Sun here in Australia 

My question is ,is it safe for me to go into the Sun in Thailand?

Can I still get the skin cancer?

Does Thailand have the ultra violent rays that Australia has ?

Not living here I guess he did not know that former Prime Minister Yinglack Shinawatra had the sun filtration system up and running in only two years. Covers all beaches in Thailand except the sand beaches on the Mekong River.

Of course you can OP.  Stay out of the sun here, its a killer.

Is this stupid question aimed at any AN members or just at any of the members who happen , coincidentally,  to be  oncologists specialising in melanoma, and who may have signed in and are currently browsing ?

 

I  would say you should be perfectly safe ,  not that I know anything about melanoma , like most on here ,  but ,  based on the fact that I myself have been here for the best part of 30 years with no issues so far,   Does that put your mind at rest ?    DUH !

Thailand does not have ultra violent rays, you have watched " A Clockwork Orange" too many times.

 

To be on the safe side, you should rub buffalo dung into your skin daily. That's how Issan farmers get their brown skin.

You re taking the p**s now.

[Etaoin Shrdlu]

No,

 

Thailand and Australia are under two completely different suns. Australia has the south-of-the-equator sun and Thailand has the north-of-the-equator sun.

 

The two suns have different functions. The sun that sits above Thailand during the day sucks up UV radiation from the earth below, passes it over to the sun over Australia, which then emits the UV rays down onto Australia.

It is really bad here for white face I have had several skin cancers.  Wear number 50 sunscreen and try to stay out of the sun.

Dooh, obviously. So wear a hat and do not expose yourself during the day.

[mfd101]

My understanding is that, everywhere in the world, workers who are outside all or most of every day exposed to the sun have LOWER rates of skin cancer than the middle class people who spend 5 days a week inside and then lie outside at the weekend with little or nothing on to 'get a nice tan'.

 

Or, to put it another way, it's sunBURN that greatly raises your chances of skin cancer.

Yes i did think that 

Australia has the highest skin cancer deaths in the world 

It's a different Sun .it has ultra properties

What a most unhelpful comment.  The amount of time YOU have spent here is immaterial.  We, or at least all thinking people, know that frequent exposure to the sun can, and in very many cases does, lead to skin cancers of various kinds.  You don't need to be an Oncologist to know the risks, you just have to reasonably  intelligent and well read.

   Thanks for the compliment ,  Yes it was an unhelpful comment, and  I fully intended it to be so.  What other response would be appropriate to such a stupid question.  Anybody and everybody  except maybe a  half wit is well aware of the risks of skin cancer,  The incidence  of it is increasing , even those  in northern Europe are at risk

        The OP is Australian so  he knows only to well of the risks involved , he is also fully aware that the risk in Thailand is hardly going to be significantly different to that in Australia.   

         Further more the OP seems to spend most of his waking hours dreaming up and posting other stupid questions on various ridiculous subjects, he is notorious for it.

         For somebody attempting to present as a "doctor" you really need to be a bit more switched on

Are you not concerned about the risk of contracting Dengue from mosquitos???

 

More than sunburn to worry about 🙂

My mum got skin-cancer in the UK.

 

OK, she was never a sun-worshiper and they live in a seaside resort (Bexhill on Sea - where Willian the Bastard landed) but even so.

 

Protect yourself wherever you roam! And from the sun too

Now why does that statement , as ridiculous as it is , not surprise me in the slightest? 

There is a blindingly obvious and simple reason why Australia has the highest skin cancer rates in the world,  

 And that is....   White people were never intended to live there simple as that,

Look at the colour of the indigenous population, they are the people who over thousands of years have evolved a skin that is much more suited to that environment, The  incidence of skin cancer amongst Aborigines  will be a minute fraction of of what it is within the milky skinned immigrant population, if they even suffer from it at all.

The op or rather whoever is carer is would be well advised to be concerned about everything,  I hope they don't leave any  sharp objects lying around  in the day room.   Or indeed anything that might get stuck in his throat should he decide to put it in his mouth,  like they do.

Georgie, now I'm convinced your many postings are because you are bored. 

 

We are taught at school to apply sun safe practises wherever you are located.
