Patricia Krentcil, 44, of Nutley, NJ, is being investigated by police on charges that she allowed her six year old daughter use a tanning bed.  The child's school notified authorities when the school nurse inquired about her sunburn.  "I go tanning with mommy," the girl told the nurse. 

Krentcil was arrested and is free on $250,000 bond.  Krentcil pleads innocent.  She says her daughter accompanies her to the tanning salon, but never enters the tanning beds.  She claims the girl's sunburn is a result of the child playing outdoors.  In New Jersey in April?  Not likely.

The tanning salon told the press Krentcil goes tanning there at least twenty times a month.

SAY WHAT?

Yeah, at least twenty times a month.  I think she suffers from a morbid compulsion.

When I saw Krentcil's picture, I thought the lady got fried by an atomic bomb.  I mean, she looks grotesque!

Doctors advise against exposing oneself to any more ultraviolet rays than necessary, and certainly never to use tanning salons.  Even occasional exposure to UV rays under tanning lamps can increase a person's risk of developing skin cancers, such as melanoma and carcinoma. 

The few people I know who use tanning salons only go a few times a year.  I've never heard of anyone going at the twenty times a month frequency...but then again, we're talking about New Jersey here!

At the rate Krentcil's going, she could be dead within five years and that little girl will have no mommy at all!

:o

Man, you could prolly make a nice pair of shoes out of that leather on her face.  ;D


Some people are indeed addicted to tanning.  Go figure... I could never figure it out.

I used to live right down the street from the country's only documented "death by tanning" about 20 years ago or so.

Some lady had a medical condition and was taking Psoralen, which was to treat her psoraisis.  Her doctors told her to stay out fo the sun because it would cause her to have some sort of adverse reaction.

So she followed her doctor's orders.  And then proceeded to the local tanning salon (Brenda's Hair Loft).  Blisters then covered almost 100% of her body and she died a week or so later.

I used to get my hair cut at Brenda's but I passed on the tanning option.  :P

Apparently this woman has never seen Final Destination 3.  :o :o :o

Although she looks like she was in it.  8-P

Um, she is 44?  I don't buy it.  64 maybe.  Poster child for too much tanning is bad for you.

She looks like an emmy award. :o

Yeah, if it was made of shoe leather.  ;D

She looks like a human Tootsie Roll!

Have you met her hubby?

My sister has always been totally addicted to tanning.  She went at least 20 times a month, but probably more like 30.  At her last physical, they found pre-cancer cells all over her body.  She has gone through 3 separate preventative treatments, where she has to rub this cream on, and it just sort of kills everything on the skin's surface.  She looks like she has bad road rash for about 2 weeks at a time.

I'd like to kick her ass.

My sisters.

She is my very closest and if she dies of skin cancer, I fear she'll just have to take me with her.

If you like piña coladas...

I knew a Sun worshiper. His skin was like leather. I didn't understand it. I often wonder if he ended up with skin cancer.

My general rule is...

If you are a white person...

And your lips are lighter then your skin...

...then you are probably tanning way too much...  :P

If you get too much sun, that's a problem.
