 Are you a tanning bed user? If so, watch out! According to recent Health Day News:

Tanning beds are as carcinogenic as asbestos and tobacco, the International Agency for Research on Cancer determined today. They elevated the risk from 'probably carcinogenic' to the highest cancer risk category--group 1--'carcinogenic to humans.'

heh interesting article. Of course with my allergy to the sun, I wouldn't even consider tanning in a bed, even if it was overall *safe*. Consider that too much tanning in real sun can lead to skin cancer, it makes sense to me that a tanning bad is also dangerous
