The following quote is similar to what I had read a few weeks ago:
"Did you know that when sun's rays hit your retina your body is stimulated to produce more melanin, therefore protecting you from sunburn? Consider taking those sunglasses off for a while when you're out there. Remember, your eyes are designed to adjust to light." (Cindy Joseph, from the second article/link below)
Since I had never heard of this before I was really curious to what this was all about. So after a few google searches I found these sites. Interesting indeed.
and no people...the mutant squirrels have nothing to do with the article I want you to read...scroll down to the appropriate article:

this page also talks about vitamin D ...very interesting! Those certain people I give a hard time about not showering...you now have a good excuse.
