| Description |
Sunburns are caused by UV radiation rather than heat (we can get sunburns on snowy days).
Sunburns destroy skin, which controls the amount of heat our bodies retain or release, holds in fluids, and protects us from infection.
Using sunscreen will help prevent burns. Make sure to know sunscreen myths versus facts when out in the sun.
Remember always, if you think a burn of any type is significant, do not hesitate to call 911 immediately.
