With May right around the corner, I think of how much we like outdoor activities in the warmer weather months. In my neighborhood everyone is working in their flower beds, getting their pools ready for the swimming season, and getting outdoors as much as they can. While we should be concerned about sun exposure all year, we are reminded in May, “Melanoma-Skin Cancer Detection and Prevention Month”, about the risks associated with sun exposure. You can visit the website for the American Academy of Dermatology http://www.aad.org for good information about Skin e-News, sun safety programs in your area, and much more.
For Extension programs related to skin cancer/sun safety that are available free to your group or organization, contact me at amcgrane@ag.tamu.edu.
Enjoy the sun safely!!!!
