The bed is closed so the other person in the room wouldn't get much UVA (according to the dermatologist I saw today on The View).

I went to a tanning bed exactly twice. The first time, whatever. The second time I got FuhRIED. And never again.

The thing that always pops into my mind is wouldn't it be funny if people who do that to themselves are also racist?

eta/oh and by the way, I have two sisters who have psoriasis. They both have gone through "light treatments" which is really just a stand up tanning bed. Except that if I'm remembering right, they would do the light treatments for something like 15 seconds. And this was under full medical supervision, in a doctor's office. They were told to get real sun, VERY important, but never more than 15 minutes. This all just screams to me the typical American thing of taking something good and overdoing it to the point of being very very bad.
