anybody would make such a silly statement.
The suns rays and U.V. are actually stronger nearer the equator.
Take it from someone who had their melanoma removed two weeks after returning from a holiday in Bali. IT HAD DOUBLED IN SIZE IN TWO WEEKS - despite the usual protection of spf30+ hats and lying in the shade.
Yes it was malignant and on the top of my head. Thanks to my hairdresser who spotted it I am still alive.
It did not itch, hurt or give any indication that it was there.
