Cyber Dome 2 would be better called Cancer Dome 2.The newest innovation in tanning beds, the manager of the newly-opened Co-Ed Tanning called the dome “neat” because “it tans several layers deep.” Using a combination of 120- and 200-watt bulbs, the manager gleefully proclaimed the bed provides “high-output lamps with a higher content of UVA and UVB rays.”This is not only bizarre talk, it’s dangerous. It’s no different from a tobacco company executive proclaiming its cigarettes have higher level of carcinogens than competitors.Dr. Rajiv Kwatra, chief resident with the division of dermatology at the Ohio State University Medical Center, called the bed a skin cancer risk because of the more intense UVA rays. It doesn’t take a doctor like Kwatra to figure out, “the deeper the tan, the greater the damage.”Skin cancer is a growing threat made worse by the damaged ozone layer and the confusing popularity of tanning beds. This is no more evident than at OSU, where many students – especially women – visit tanning beds as regularly as they go to the grocery store or get a haircut.Wake up call: We’re in Ohio people. We’re not supposed to be tan in January.Tanning should be viewed as a risk no different than smoking or eating lead paint chips. Members of our generation will pay with more than leathery skin as they grow older.Besides, you’re not fooling anyone.
