The hat V cap thing is ,in my opinion, a marketing & profit thing. After a generation of skin cancers to the ears & back of neck etc then there will be a push for sombreros and wide brim hats: not just "slip, slop, slap" as we have here.

I didn't wear hats when younger as i was a "long haired leaping loon" or whatever but even though, later in life, I wore a helmet with muffs while brushcutting, chainsawing, mowing, landscaping, & a hat while gardening etc I still managed to get skin cancer to the top of my ear. Dr said we will have to monitor that one and the one on my cheek so I applied radium weed and beside the cheek's severe pain the cancers scabbed up and dropped off. I told Dr & he said there was research into that euphorbia. Drug companies will charge a bomb for the stuff they concoct.

My elderly friend hates the pain of needles and the cutting out of the cancers on her face( and she has had quite a few-one time she looked like a "little Ausie Bleeder" with all the tiny round bandaids on her face. She decided to get me to apply some sap but with no responsibility on me. Most have gone within a fortnight. One however has scabbed twice and still coming out so had a third application this week: she claims the roots of it must have been very deep and any surgery would have made a mess of her face.

Don't try at home without medical advice & the correct plant.

Cheers
