Fair-Skinned Tourists Fearful of Maui Sun
From Bonny G: "My hubby and I will be heading to Maui for the first time in mid-October. Both of us are fair skinned, and we don't want our vacation ruined by not respecting the Maui sun.

Legs Red and Swollen when I Arrived Home
From Edith Sayles: "I was traveling in Spain, France and Belgium for two weeks recently. When I left for the airport in Brussels to return home, I was fine and felt great. The flight was comfortable with a roomy bulkhead seat. Strangely, when I arrived home, I noticed that my knee and ankle of my right leg was very swollen and red. My left leg was too, but to a lesser extent. It was painful like I had a bad sunburn, but I didn't have any sunburn. The next day, I went to the nurse at work. She immediately sent me to the emergency room at a local hospital." more>
