May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month in the U.S., and the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) has released the results of a survey that found that although most Americans know sun protection is important, they still fail to adequately protect themselves from ultraviolet light (UV) exposure. A second press release from the AAD also said that there is no evidence to support claims that UV exposure may be effective in treating Covid-19, warning the public that the risks of UV radiation outweigh any perceived positive effects.
