Sunbeds ‘should have health warning’

TANNING yourself in a sunbed or solarium is as dangerous as lying in the hot sun, scientists have warned.

The Irish are particularly at risk, especially those who have fair skin, blue eyes, red hair and freckles, an EU report warns.

In fact anybody who has a family history of skin cancer, has moles or freckles, is under 18 years of age and sunburns easily, should avoid sunbeds altogether.
