Researchers Aim to Detect Skin Cancer Via Scent
Here's an interesting one. A group of US experts have discovered that a common form of skin cancer could one day be detected very early on by simply analyzing scents. More specifically, it was found that basal cell carcinomas give off an odor that is distinctly different than samples from healthy skin, which obviously opens up the possibility for "cheap and painless testing." In the future, researchers are hoping to create scent profiles for other types of skin cancer, including the infamous malignant melanoma. Believe it or not, a machine may be only one of the devices used to eventually sniff cancerous cells -- similar research is ongoing using live canines and their remarkably sensitives schnozes.

With skin cancer rates going up, rash guards are a great way to protect your skin without harmful chemical sunscreens. Surfers have used rash guard shirts for years. You'll use less sunscreens and their harmful chemicals, (dangerous to us as well as our environment), AND less of the plastic bottles they come in!
