Is There A Connection Between Skin Cancer And Your Car?

00:00 /

It seems that people in the US get skin cancer on the left side of their face and body more than the right side. Researchers think that may have to do with the way we drive. The windshield and windows of your car block most of the UV rays but if you drive with the window down you are letting in more of the dangerous rays. I guess the best way to see if this theory is accurate is to go to Britain and check to see if their drivers have a lot more skin cancer issues on the right side of their face and body because their steering wheel is on the right side. Any British dermatologists out there have an opinion on this?

Nothing is Worsa than MRSA

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy examine the facts about the MRSA virus. (MRSA is not a virus – Thanks Nathan) There has been a dramatic rise in the number of people infected with MRSA. In fact several NFL stars have been hospitalized over the last few years. MRSA affects mostly men. Doctors are seeing it more in healthy males who plays sports – they will get a skin cut or burn then moisture from the shower, where the bacteria lays and waits makes it easy to infect the person. If you have an abcess or cut that is infected and is not healing properly get it checked out. You don’t want to mess with MRSA. About 100,000 people are infected each year.
