Answer to Question 1

For example, one urban legend suggests a woman smells something bad, even after showering. When she finally sees a doctor he informs her she has cooked her inner organs and intestines due to excessive tanning sessions and they are rotting. Biologically not possible, but the message is clear, don't over do the tanning booth
