The Minister of Health and Access to Cares passes an “alert message.” BFMTV’s guest, Yannick Neuder warned on Tuesday, July 29 against the effects of several trends on social networks that ask the sun to expose without protection to reveal tanning traces: the “solar tattoo”, “burn lines” or “toast lines”.
With the minister delegate responsible for artificial and digital intelligence, Clara Chappaz, “we will take advantage of European authorities and platforms to ban these messages that are dangerous,” said Yannick Neuder, adding: “It is not simple, but it is possible.”
More than 200,000 diagnosed skin cancer
Remembering that “85% of skin cancers are due to childhood exhibitions,” the government member approached “younger”: “I think they do not realize that the youngest with this amplification of social networks only for a few seconds of buzzing in social networks, destroy their cells for life,” he emphasized.
In addition, the one who is a training strength recalled that a basic advice was observed in summer to protect from UV rays: “Put cream with strong indexes, 50 tracks and will not be exposed between noon and 4 pm.”
Exposure to UV rays is the main factor in skin cancer. Each year, in France, from 141,200 to 243,500 leather cancers, it is diagnosed, including 112,960 to 194,800 caused by excessive exposure to UV rays, according to Public Health France.
Trends in the social networks mentioned by Yannick Neuder are mainly promoted in videos that speak in English. They consist of not applying sun protection to obtain very delimited tan marks or invite you to draw a pattern with sunscreen to track, similar to an ephemeral tattoo.
