Public‑health agencies continue to stress broad‑spectrum SPF 30‑50+ sunscreen, protective clothing, hats, UV‑filtering sunglasses and re‑application every two hours, with shade‑seeking during peak UV hours (≈11 a.m.–3 p.m.). Recent updates expand the advice: • Heat‑stroke alerts in Turkey warn vulnerable groups – children, the elderly, pregnant women and chronic‑illness patients – to stay hydrated, avoid outdoor activity between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., wear loose cotton and use sunscreen. Medical oncology specialist Doç. Dr. Yasin Kutlu of Medipol Mega University Hospital warns that high summer temperatures can exacerbate side effects for patients undergoing chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy. He notes that heat‑induced fluid loss, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea can intensify, and emphasizes that many cancer treatments increase skin sensitivity to sunlight. • Dermatologists across Europe and North America are increasingly warning against ‘tanmaxxing’, a social‑media trend on platforms like TikTok and Instagram where users seek intense midday sun exposure and avoid sunscreen to achieve deep tans. Christian Sander of Asklepios Klinik Hamburg St. Georg describes a sunburn as a cellular injury rather than an aesthetic choice, stating, ‘Ein Sonnenbrand ist kein ästhetisches Statement, kein ‘Look’, sondern ein Hilferuf der Haut.’ Experts note the trend is often linked to ‘looksmaxxing’ culture, where tans are used to make muscles appear more defined. • To mitigate risks, experts suggest safer alternatives for a ‘summer glow,’ such as cosmetic bronzing concentrates, and emphasize intensive after-sun care with ingredients like aloe vera to soothe skin. Meanwhile, the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ) reports rising UV radiation levels, noting increases of over 10% in Dortmund and nearly 20% in the Brussels area since 1997. • Veterinary and animal‑care alerts note that heat stress can reduce work capacity of Turkey’s Kangal dogs, recommending shade, water and cooler feeding.
