 History & Development

How Whales learned to swim - They are mammals!

Picaridin and eucalyptus oil has been recommended by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) for effective protection against mosquitoes that may carry the West Nile virus. The insect repellant with picaridin is offered at Cutter Insect Repellent.com. For insect repellant with eucalyptus oil, visit Quantum Health.com for Buzz Away products (combination with suntan lotion is offered). For "Beach Tips" and additional info on suntan lotions with sunscreen, visit Beach.lifetips.com .

What is "Sun Tan Lotion" and more about Sun Blockers at Net Wellness.org. Lotions that contain the ingredients Oxybenzone, Titanium Dioxide or Parsol 1789 block out some UVA rays. Doctors say a chemical called Mexoryl offers even better protection which is not yet FDA approved for the U.S but has been used in other countries for 13 years. Find out more at ABC News.go.com/2020/Health/story . Also new from Neutrogena is Helioplex visit Realsimplerewards.com.

Web  MD.com - Daily Sunscreen Use Fights Early Signs of Skin Cancer. Use everyday! Visit www.cancercenter.com to learn more about skin cancer. Most skin cancers appear after age 50, but the sun's damaging effects begin at an early age. Therefore, protection should start in childhood, in order to prevent skin cancer later in life.

The current "Queen of the Deep" free diving in the Ocean is Tanya Streeter. The next closest female record holder, actress, and stunt women in "Pirates of the Caribbean" is Mehgan Heaney - Grier (Mermaid of the Sea). The men's record is held by French freediver Loic Leferme. He achieved a new world freediving record with a 171m dive on a single breath of air. The dive took place on Saturday 30 October at Villefranche-sur-mer, Cote d'Azur, France and was ratified by officials from AIDA.
