Which states have the worst sunburns?

Categories: Diet & Weight Loss

Got a sunburn this year already? Although sunburns are not confined to the spring and summer seasons, that is the time when most of them occur. The CDC says that more U.S. adults are becoming sunburned than ever before as well, and with the summer season almost here, it's time to revisit those methods of sunburn prevention.

From 1999 to 2004, the percentage of U.S. adults who received a sunburn increased from 31.8% to 33.7%, which says not enough adults are using adequate techniques to ensure that red and painful skin doesn't come to them while outside.

Amazingly to some, Arizona residents saw the least sunburns (in a very hot state, I might add) while Utah residents saw the most. Want some tips to avoid sunburns? These may seem obvious to most, but with sunburns on the rise, a reminder is always a good thing.
