I have read that every second person in Australia have some kind of skin cancer because of Ozone Holes.
How true is this? How to protect while visiting Australia?
Thank you. |

It's not ozone holes; just the power of a sun high in the sky.
At a guess: are you fron Northern Europe? or USA?
We recommend :
SLIP on a shirt, preferably long-sleeved
SLOP on sunscreen 30+
SLAP on a hat!
Don't deliberately expose yourself to midday sun.
Taking zinc tablets -- I did so, and my skin has stayed good.
Get any suspicious area checked, at a place that does molescan |
