Are Tanning Beds Dangerous?
A golden tan is considered in many cultures to be attractive and a sign of good health. To achieve this golden tan year round, many people will use tanning beds. Just a few minutes every few days can quickly and easily leave a person with a healthy looking tan, even in the middle of winter. Some people consider tanning beds a safer alternative to outdoors tanning, under the sun, but this is a deadly misconception. Tanning beds are dangerous, at least as dangerous as tanning outdoors, if not more so.
