Some students have been taking advantage of the warmer weather -- catching some rays and perhaps working toward a summer tan. Tanning can be a serious pursuit whether it's from sunshine or on a tanning bed. Hunter Cortez tells us more in this Bobcat Update.

There are precautions that must be taken when tanning in a bed. Chelsea Sawyer, manager of Great Tans in San Marcos, says to prevent cancer and other harmful effects one should avoid burning.

The F-D-A regulates tanning salons by requiring set timers for all beds and protective goggles for all tanners. At G-Tans, lotions are provided to protect one's skin and warning signs are posted in every room. Those who work at the tanning salons also provide guidance.
