Long drives may put you in the lane that leads to skin cancer. Yes, this is true. Actually, once again it has been found that left body part of those who go for long drives is more susceptible to skin cancer, for this part of the body is comparatively more exposed to scorching sun rays during long drives.
Here word ‘once again’ has been used intentionally because previous studies have also proved that left body part of those who drives on long routes is more susceptible to skin cancer due to more exposure to UV rays of the Sun.
Interestingly, our skin becomes more susceptible to skin cancer not only while we drive on long routes but also when we get exposed to UV rays through other ways. For instance, marathon running has also been linked to skin cancer, for during long hours of running our skin is quite liberally get exposed to skin cancer, increasing the susceptibility to skin cancer.
