Bath Salts and the Naked Cannibal

I'm a little behind the times, because I'm just learning a little more about "bath salts" because of the naked man cannibal incident.

Sometimes packaged as bath salts or plant food and marketed under names such as "Purple Wave," "Vanilla Sky" and "Bliss," the stimulants are especially popular among teens and young adults and are perceived as mimics of cocaine, LSD and methamphetamine. The DEA says users have reported disorientation, extreme paranoia and violent episodes after ingesting the chemicals. They are sold on the Internet and in head shops and other retail outlets.

FDA Consumer Updates - Sun Safety: Save Your Skin!

The need for sun safety has become clearer over the past 30 years. Studies show that exposure to the sun can cause skin cancer. Harmful rays from the sun—and from sunlamps and tanning beds—may also cause eye problems, weaken your immune system, and give you skin spots, wrinkles, or "leathery" skin.



FDA Consumer Updates - Sun Safety: Save Your Skin!:

"Sun safety is never out of season. Summer's arrival means it's time for picnics, trips to the pool and beach—and a spike in the number of sunburns. But winter skiers and fall hikers should be as wary of the sun's rays as swimmers. People who work outdoors need to take precautions, too."

The Truth about a “Base Tan”

BTW, May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month.

With Memorial Day weekend upon us, the following might be of some interest to you.

The Truth about a “Base Tan” - SkinCancer.org - Sun Safety Tips for Memorial Day Weekend and Beyond :

"Those tempted to kick off summer by getting a “base tan” should be aware that there is no such thing as a safe, healthy or protective tan. The misconception that a base tan will protect the skin is dangerous; even for those who never burn, prolonged exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation can lead to skin aging (including wrinkles, lines and age spots) as well as skin cancer. In fact, about 65 percent of melanomas and 90 percent of nonmelanoma skin cancers are associated with sun exposure."

ICH Q11 Reaches Harmonization, Implementation is Next

PharmTech Talk » ICH Q11 Reaches Harmonization, Implementation is Next:

"ICH Q11, the anticipated guideline from the International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) titled Development and Manufacture of Drug Substances, has achieved international consensus. Q11 has been one of the fastest guidelines to move through the ICH harmonization process. Q11 was published as a draft in May 2011 and reached Step 4 this month, which means that the ICH steering committee members (representing regulatory and trade organizations in the US, Europe, and Japan), have reached scientific consensus and signed the guideline. At this point, each of the region’s regulatory agencies, including FDA, will publish the guideline as official guidance within their appropriate regions and implementation will begin."
