Summer's coming.

This summer should we flirt with skin cancer or risk a Vitamin D deficiency, "a condition which has been linked with heart disease, schizophrenia, diabetes, multiple sclerosis and cancers of trhe colon, breast, ovary and prostate?"

Great.

Actually, what motivated me to link to this article was the author's description of one sunburn where "I had suffered hallucinatory sunstroke on our first holiday abroad: mum had to talk me down as I ranted about the little men trying to make me straighten out all the air."

Been there; done that, except it was talking furniture. Weird, weird stuff. Thank God for SPF 50 "Solar Eclipse" sunblock.

On the other hand, Junk Science reports from a non-working link that the Ozone Hole is closing, which explains why we haven't had the annual hysterical end of the world story about that subject for a few years.

Huzzah.
