WHO: 'Be careful with the sun!'

Every year, 60,000 people in the world die due to too much sun exposure, mainly skin cancer.

Of these, the WHO Report (World Health Organization) said 48,000 people died of melanoma and 12,000 people due to other types of skin cancer. Too much sunshine causes severe burns, aging as well as causing many illnesses that are still unexpected: cataract, pterygium (a triangular proliferation on the cornea, usually on the face In, due to thickening and degeneration of the conjunctiva . Especially when the ozone layer is getting thinner, snow, sand, and sponges also become ultraviolet reflectors.

To avoid health problems, the WHO noted that every citizen in the world should look in the shade and use sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15, although light sun exposure is still required to produce vitamin D in the body. According to WHO, cataract is most prevalent in sunny areas such as Southeast Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East.
