Not Made in the Shade

(HealthScoutNews) -- We all know the dangers of too much exposure to the

sun. But did you know that staying in the shade may not offer enough

protection?

A study by the folks at Cook University in Queensland, Australia,

found that shady areas may block visible light, but they don't always offer

protection from the ultra-violet light that causes sunburn and skin cancer.

Researchers reporting in the International Journal of Biometeorology suggest

a veranda with a great deal of overhang, to protect against the angled light

of the afternoon sun.
