So let me tell y’all about the crazies I work with. I burn easily, and there is very little shade, so I store sunscreen everywhere. My desk, the bathroom, my bag, the car, the office supply closet, etc. I often use it and offer to my colleagues when anyone needs to go out for a while.
We got a new guy on the team, he’s going out, I suggest he take some sunscreen. He tells me that sunscreen is poison and that you don’t really need it as long as you don’t wear sunglasses. He tells me that it’s wearing sunglasses that actually causes you to burn because your eyes don’t get as much sun so your brain doesn’t send the right chemicals out to protect your skin.

Idk. He said his wife still demands sunscreen for their children, so I’ll let him fry himself in peace.

Yeah I’ve seen an upsurge of people claiming sunscreen is toxic poison. Not sure where the fuck they pulled that from

It’s a good thing my skin isn’t made of coral.

Some of the chemicals do show up a bit in blood, but there’s no evidence it’s toxic iirc.

I am aware of this, and believe it is real. However this wasn’t even his argument.

Everything that can kill you A to Z.
S is for sunscreen, but also the sun. Both give you cancer, isn’t that fun.

Maybe they read something about the titanium dioxide contained in some sunscreen products. There is some research indicating that its not as safe as we thought and that it might be carcinogenic.

It might be but sunburn is definitely carcinogenic.

This and nowadays (at least here in Europe) you find lots of sun screen without titanium dioxide.They all habe a kabel with corals in it (they call it in hawaian agreement?). So its very easy to avoid nanoparticles AND protect skin. Also, its not like a few years ago that you look like a vampire when using sun screen without nanoparticles.

Sometimes I think I’ve heard all the batshit nonsense. Other days I read something like this.

I have a running list of shit I’ve heard from this guy. I’m positive it’s something from Alex Jones or similar.
