    Left Side of Man's Face Severely Aged by Sun Exposure

    To most people it’s a curiosity, something to laugh about with the kids: you spend a few hours a day driving and by mid-summer, your left hand and arm are shades darker than the right.

    But as a new case presented in the New England Journal of Medicine shows, left-sided sun damage is no laughing matter. Over the years, that lopsided suntan and a few extra freckles can mutate into deep creases, sagging skin and a general look that’s far older than your true age—and, too often, a high risk of skin cancer.This man is a 69-year-old truck driver, making his living behind the wheel for the past 28 years. Half of his face looks normal for his age, but because he spent daytime hours with the sun to his left for nearly three decades, the left side of his face looks decades older.......................

    He needs to move to Japan for the remainder of his life. Even that bad boy out.

    Maybe he had a dedicated run where he ran South every morning and North every evening.

    I've been thinking alot here lately on what the effects of the tanning beds are going to have on people in 10 or so years. Everyone seems to be laying in these things year round.

    Hey I was a P & D city driver mostly all sunlight driving time.
    Logged 45 years with a bit over 2 million miles & I never was effected like that guy.
    However every summer I did have what we called window tan on my left for arm.
    Still after all of that time in the sun Thank God I have never had any side effects from sun exposure.
