How is the comparison to sunburns supposed to make anyone feel better
I go through millimeter wave scanners a few dozen times a year -- getting sunburned that often would dramatically increase your cancer risk.
- semi-extrinsic 10y agoMaybe it's not a good comparison, IDK. The trouble with getting a sunburn is because UV radiation is ionizing, and we know that causes cancer. Even if you don't get sunburnt, frequent unprotected exposure to strong sun increases cancer risk. Maybe going to the sauna is a better comparison? We don't really have a consistent way of comparing effects of different types of non-ionizing radiation.
