Given that sunburn is a response to cellular damage of your skin cells, why would it be the case that the two are de-coupled w/r/t UVA and UVB?

- graeme 6y agoActually, it seems I was wrong. I thought it was just UVA, but uvb also causes melanoma. I’d delete the above comment if I could. The main point that you can get vitamin d from short exposure without sunburn is correct, but I was incorrect on the risk. But he fact I was wrong about uvb and melanoma also makes me think I may be incorrect on the risk of uva during periods without uvb. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanoma#UV_radiation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melanoma#UV_radiation
