Had she not heard for the calls for a ban – or, limited use of – sunbeds over the previous 23 years?
Ban everything that can or does cause a sickness or injury in somebody and there will not be much left
Let me just lay under some ultra UV light for a few minutes and then act surprised when it mangles my DNA.
Yawn.
„Please let me do whatever I want despite all indiciations that it’s a terrible idea and will hurt me.“
„Please save me from my own idiocy.“
Kinda have to pick one. I’m sorry but anyone who has been awake at any point in the last thirty or more years should be well aware of the risks posed.
> Despite repeated trips to A&E, Lily’s concerns were dismissed as anxiety, linked to her mental health history.
Why is this seemingly ALWAYS part of a woman’s quest to get basic healthcare. Oh your back and chest pain can’t actually be real after a recent cancer diagnosis and recovery, you just have anxiety 🤡
Given how little she used them, I’d think it’s more likely to be that she didn’t use sun cream properly.
I grew up in Australia and it’s shocking how many Brits don’t know how to use sunscreen.
23 is way too young for such a diagnosis, crazy how less than an hour in a sun bed can lead to lifelong cancer treatment.
Wish her well, and good on her for trying to enact change to protect others.
Sub category of a Darwin award seems like a thing she wants.
Has she not heard anyone call them „cancer beds“? Or seen any of the thousands of warnings not to use them?
I don’t know what this is all about know. Soon as one person gets sick or dies we want to bad it.
Car meets a lad died very sad people wanted to ban all car meets! When pointed out that it was ridiculous they lose their mind. Surely we can weigh up the risks for ourselves. People die everyday it sad but it is part of life.
Any evidence whatsoever that this was caused by the sunbed rather than that someone who has a history of using sunbeds is more likely to also be a sun worshiper and probably not do a good enough job with sun cream? She was travelling around south east Asia but the brief period on a sun bed gets all the blame?
I’m not suggesting sun beds are great. I wouldn’t use one. Any colour change of your skin like that is unhealthy whether it’s a natural tan or one from a sunbed. I just think the blame is being lobbed in the wrong place here.
I’ve been hearing about the dangers of sunbeds since my teens, and I’m nearly 40.
Anyone aged 23 who uses a sunbed in this day and age, is the same as anyone who begins smoking cigarettes. You’re aware of the dangers, but the naivety of youth has you believe it won’t happen to you.
Never mind the sunbeds (should be illegal) it’s the fact a lighy skinned person was fucking around in the sun without taking it seriously.
The article even says she went to get a „base tan“ ? Wtf?!
This can be merely coincidence. I doubt 10 sunbed sessions gave her melanoma at 23.
My philosophy is: the government has a responsibility to protect its citizens from external dangers where possible, but not from the consequences of their own bad decisions. It’s very unfortunate for this woman and I have a lot of sympathy for her but a ban makes no sense. Exposure to UV light can give you skin cancer, everyone knows this. She got incredibly unlucky and now her life is ruined, but we shouldn’t be legislating based on extreme and tragic cases like this
If you’re gonna ban something every time someone has a bad experience, we will be left with nothing.
Using a sunbed when you’re going to a hot country and will get one naturally seems abit weird
As an Australian, I was so blown away to see sunbeds so commonly used when I moved to the UK
The dangers of using sunbeds has been widely know for a long time. I’m a 43 year old bloke who’s never seen the inside of a sunbed and I’ve know for my entire life that they are dangerous. Banning things that are dangerous is a dumb policy. People have a right to choose to do whatever they want with their own bodies, asking the government to have authority over people’s autonomy is insane to me. Just make informed choices and accept responsibility for them ffs. She’s a grown woman – there is already a ban on anyone under 18yrs old using them, to protect young people (as there should be). No further restrictions necessary.
The diagnosis is very tragic but it’s more often than not sunburn in childhood that manifests via cancer years, or even a decade or two later, or even longer and a skin injury can bring it out earlier than it would’ve done by itself. There’s also other genetic factors that play a part in susceptibility, ie, you have blue eyes, your parents have brown eyes and your grandparents have blue eyes, I became an expert in the subject the hard way, hope she receives quick surgery and heals.
Maybe it is me but I am 33 and there have been calls to ban these since I was in sixth form. That was seventeen years ago, when this woman was six, so it is not like the risks of sunbed use and skin cancer are not known. If anything, their popularity was falling off a cliff by the early 00s because of this. It sounds harsh but this is like a smoker claiming they did not know that smoking causes lung cancer.
Ban yes
Being educated so you never use one… priceless.
I can’t grasp why they weren’t banned years ago personally!
Using a sunbed to start your tan is even worse than using a sunbed to get a tan. You’re going on holiday just fucking wait a few days!
Skin cancer doesn’t work that way. For the symptoms to show in way mentioned in the story it would take years from the initial DNA damage to bleeding moles. It also don’t consider she used the sunbeds to get a „base tan“ and doesn’t go into what other exposure yo the sun either from sunbathing or just being in the sun she’s had.
Yes, sunbeds increase the risk but to call for a ban because someone once used them and then got cancer when other factors could be a factor is odd.
