They know it's not caused by the sun, but it complicates things for people because people are like, I got melanoma on my toe?
And they think it's from the sun.
And they're like, how did that happen, right?
Like, what's melanoma doing down there?
But so it does – not all melanomas are caused by the sun.
There's, you know, most probably are.
But it gets really weird with melanoma.
It's associated with...
Burning with intermittent sun exposure, like you work in an office all year and then you go to Cancun and get fried.
That's a pretty good recipe for melanoma.
History of sunburns also will double your risk.
Chronic exposure, where you have an outdoor job every day, lower than average risk of melanoma.
Yeah, so it gets weird.
Like landscapers or something like that.
Outdoor workers have a lower incidence of melanoma than office workers.
And we don't hear that.
So I don't want to downplay skin cancer because it sucks when you get it.
