Dr Tom: Go for shade, learn from the burn

Summer is definitely here and so is barbecue season. Unfortunately, many of us are barbecuing our bodies as the sun’s rays fry our skin and its tissues beneath. Cells begin what is called apoptosis, cell suicide as proteins are cooked like sausages on the hotplate. The redness is caused by dilation of blood vessels which can peak up to 24 hours after sun exposure. A cascade of inflammation and pain is set up, which is not only uncomfortable but has potential long-term effects.
