Tanning is one of those rare activities that when done in moderation is still bad for you. Recent research proves that even sunscreen doesn't protect you from harmful UV and UVB rays that can cause skin cancer. But like with cigarettes and unprotected sex with strangers, some human beings seem bent on destroying themselves.With that in mind, we put together a gallery that is both a cautionary glimpse of the damaging effects of the sun as well as an ode to the stupefying and painfully irrational Homo sapien behavior.
Enjoy, and for God's sake, don't let this be you.

I really dislike the commentary on this. I would never volunteer a photo for this website. Making fun of people really shows how unrefined this website is.

Ok idiot. First off the people in all these pictures probably didn't volunteer for this site. When you put a picture on the internet any one can take it to do whatever they want with it. And it you sell it to certain sites like fotolia.com then you also agree for them to do what they please with it. You think whoever wrote this article just went around and said " Hey, your an idiot. Can I take your pic for aol.com?" No. They searched all over the web for pics of people with tans. Your about as moronic as the people in these pics.

it looks like he fell asleep at the beach or pool. That's a first - degree burn, and could give him a fever. They put some ppl in the hosp who have a burn like that. I used to burn almost that bad when I was a teen . I thought you had to ---- to be cool.

FYI, first degree is a MILD burn. I think you meant to say it is a 3rd degree burn. People aren't hospitalized for a 1st degree burn

Yes it is true, and if you look through the internet that is classified as a first degree burn. I hate dumb people (dont kno if u can curse) who persist on
saying something that is wrong. Like that guy has a 3rd degree burn. NO HE DOESNT! By offials it is still classified as a 1st degree burn. If you get a blister from a burn, thats a 2nd degree burn. A third degree burn it when the burn, o i cant explain it... google search third degree burn...its uhhh.

By meee
um i dont think it is a 2nd degree burn when it blisters cuz i got a burn that caused a blister by dropping pizza on my lap (and my jeans were on top of th eskin)

The traditional system of classifying burns categorizes them as first-, second-, or third-degree. Most burns are first- to third-degree, with the higher-degree burns typically being used to classify burns postmortem.[4]
This system is however being replaced by one reflecting the need for surgical intervention. The burn depths are described as either superficial, superficial partial-thickness, deep partial-thickness, or full-thickness.[5] The following are brief descriptions of these classes:
[edit]By degree
Second degree burn caused by contact with glue at 145 Degrees C.
First-degree burns are usually limited to redness (erythema), a white plaque and minor pain at the site of injury. These burns involve only the epidermis. Most sunburns can be included as first degree burns.
Second-degree burns manifest as erythema with superficial blistering of the skin, and can involve more or less pain depending on the level of nerve involvement. Second-degree burns involve the superficial (papillary) dermis and may also involve the deep (reticular) dermis layer.
Major second degree burn caused by contact with boiling water.
Third-degree burns occur when the epidermis is lost with damage to the subcutaneous tissue. Burn victims will exhibit charring and extreme damage of the epidermis, and sometimes hard eschar will be present. Third-degree burns result in scarring and victims will also exhibit the loss of hair shafts and keratin. These burns may require grafting.
Fourth-degree burns damage muscle, tendon, and ligament tissue, thus result in charring and catastrophic damage of the hypodermis. In some instances the hypodermis tissue may be partially or completely burned away as well as this may result in a condition called compartment syndrome, which threatens both the life and the limb of the patient. Grafting is required if the burn does not prove to be fatal.
