The cancer part of sunburns doesn’t come from the heat of the sun. It occurs because the sun is sending 1000s of “mini bullets” (ionizing radiation) that rip through your DNA. With any luck, all the issues caused will be caught and not develop into cancer. But if the “mini bullet” hits the wrong part of the DNA, and your body doesn’t catch it, cancer.
