Re: What gives us sunburn protects crayfish against bacteria
Don't mess with the Iron Sheik or he'll butt slam your candy *** from the second rope and then feed you to his bisexual, carnivorous, pro-abortion camel! hehe (Don't worry, there's no such thing as "carnivorous" camels ...) On a serious note here, the article is in error in the very second line: "The production of melanin gives us sunburns ...". Over-radiated skin cells is what gives us "sun burns". Afterall, you, and me even, can "produce melanin" without achieving a sunburn, right? Right. And without further picking apart the article, let me just say this in response to Eileen's question: No.
I believe, and please don't quote me here, that there is ample research supporting the positive effects of ultra-violet exposure in humans - specifically when it comes to it's effects on the immune system and other mundane human things like attractiveness and attitude; but I digress. More specifically addressing the "bacteria" aspect of the article and Eileen's question, let me just say that all of us are infested with "bacteria" (some in more places than others, hehe, God bless'em!), and it's good, and it's natural for Mother Nature's sake! ~sheesh~ Now of course, there is some bacteria that can cause problems for some folks; but it's nothing that sunlight is going to help.
Again, like with the whole Vit D angle, I have to say that this particular study does nothing for our cause. It's encouraging in a way, for crayfish maybe; but I don't see the US government trying to regulate them out of existence.
