I read recently that 1/3 of Australians get skin cancer.
Yeah, with red hair and fair skin, and grandparents who thought sunscreen was some kind of leftie plot, I've been having dodgy moles removed since my late teens. It's no drama, though, because I keep an eye on them and watch for changes, so the worst that's happened is that one biopsy came back, "Yeah, kind of pre-pre-cancerous, could have gone either way, I guess."

(Camera phones are SO GREAT for mole tracking!)
