BY MELINDA MYERS May is National Skin Cancer Awareness Month and a busy time for gardening and other outdoor activities. Gardening provides many benefits but like any outdoor activity it’s important to protect yourself from the sun’s damaging rays. More than 5 million cases of skin cancer are diagnosed each year and most are associated with exposure to the ultraviolet rays from the sun. And even though it’s the most common form of cancer in the U.S. it is also one of the most preventable. Help reduce this percentage and keep yourself and others safe with a bit of skin cancer preven- tion. Use sunscreen year-round. It is easy to overlook during those extremely cold or hot months where we may be bun- dled up or spending minimal time outdoors. In fact, run- ning errands and even time spent in the car results in sun exposure. Apply a sunscreen with UVA/UVB protection and a min- imum SPF of 30 over your entire body at least 30 minutes before going outdoors. This includes cloudy days when we often forego this precaution. Reapply sunscreen every two hours or after swimming or excessive sweating. Pay close attention and make a generous application to lips, tips of ears, and the backs of your neck and hands. Keep a bottle of sunscreen in your garden tool kit as a reminder to apply throughout the day. If it’s easily accessi- ble, you are more likely to apply it as needed. Avoid gardening and outdoor activities when the sun is most intense. This is usually between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Find those shady spots in the landscape to weed or relax during that time. Avoiding the intense sunlight means cooler temperatures that make working in the garden more enjoyable. Cover up for greater protection. Wear a broad brimmed hat to protect your ears, scalp, neck and face from the sun. Don clothing of tightly woven fabric that helps block harm- ful UV rays. And talk to your dermatologist about the ben- efits of investing in photoprotective clothing. Be sure to include gloves when purchasing sun protec- tive clothing. Look for knit gloves like Foxgloves (fox- glovesinc.com) that provide 50+ UPF, Ultraviolet Protection Factor. These gloves are made of lightweight, breathable fabric and come in a variety of colors, including skin tone, making them easy to wear when working, driving or par- ticipating in any outdoor activity. And don’t forget about your eyes. Wear sunglasses and a broad brimmed hat to protect your eyes when gardening, relaxing or recreating outdoors. Check your skin regularly for any suspicious moles, spots, growths and changes. And visit your dermatologist at least once a year. They can help you detect and manage problems early. As you work to improve your landscape or do other out- door activities this season, add sun protection to your to- do list. Then encourage your family and friends to do the same. A bit of prevention can reduce your risk of becoming that one individual in five that develops skin cancer by the age of 70. Melinda Myers has written numerous books, including Small Space Gardening.

With so many people strapped for cash because of theCOVID-19 pandemic, some may be considering paydayloans, which are short-term loans that come with exceed-ingly high-interest rates. Unfortunately, many paydayborrowers find themselves unable to repay the principal,fees and interest at the end of the loan period so theyrenew the loan, incurring even more fees and interest andtrapping themselves into a cycle of debt.

One consumer from Waukesha complained to the BBB,“I applied for a $1000 loan to help pay our October rentas we received a 5-day move out notice. I was under theimpression that I would be able to pay it back in a fewmonths. I didn’t realize they were charging me 319.42%.I didn’t even think that was possible. It shows I have topay $1832.97 finance charges. That is unheard of. Mytotal to pay back over the next 9 months would be$2832.97. Almost triple my loan! I now am unemployedlooking for a job, have 5 small children, and have a new5-day move out notice for November.”

Wisconsin has no cap on annual interest rates for pay-day loans, which can be more than 500% APR. In addi-tion, although borrowers can only renew a payday loantwice, there is no limit on the number of different pay-day loans a borrower can have. In the past 12 months,BBB has processed almost 2500 complaints against pay-day lenders nationally — 50 from Wisconsinites -- most-ly from consumers complaining about high-interest rates.

"Payday loans are meant to help consumers in apinch," said Jim Temmer, president/CEO of the BetterBusiness Bureau Serving Wisconsin. "Unfortunately, oncethey get caught in that cycle of borrowing and beingunable to repay, it's very difficult to get out of it. If con-sumers are looking for a quick, one-time loan to help paybills, their best bet is to look for other options."

Before taking on a payday loan, BBB recommends youconsider these alternatives:

• Payment Plan. Try to make your current situationmore manageable by renegotiating your current debtswith payment plans. Some banks, credit unions, cell

phone companies, and mortgage and student loanproviders, for example, are pushing back bill due dates tohelp their customers.

• Personal Loans from a bank or credit union will bea cheaper alternative. Consider both online and brick-and-mortar institutions, but be wary of online loan scam-mers who promise loans for upfront fees and then neverprovide the loan. Check out the companies first atbbb.org

• Credit card cash advance. Relying on a credit cardcash advance is never a cheap option, though it's likelyto be better than a payday loan. Most issuers will chargea percentage of the advance as a fee, usually around 5%,with a minimum of $5 to $10.

• Paycheck advance. Some companies have employeeassistance programs that can help employees in need.

• Credit counseling. If your financial situation is outof control, consumer credit counseling can be a greatresource to help you analyze your debt, define a realistic,personalized budget and negotiate lower interest ratesand lower monthly payments.

• 401(k) loan. You may also consider borrowing fromyour own retirement or 401(k) account. According toInvestopedia, four reasons to borrow from your 401(k)include speed and convenience, repayment flexibility,cost advantage, and potential benefits to your retirementsavings in a down market. As long as you repay the loanon schedule (including interest) and follow all therequirements of the loan, you shouldn’t incur any taxesor penalties.

If you must use a payday loan, BBB has this advice:All loan companies are not the same. Check out the

company’s BBB Business Profile on BBB.org to see its rat-ing, history of complaints and other information.

• Never pay an upfront fee. Some short-term loanproviders will ask for a post-dated check to cover theamount you borrowed plus interest and fees. However, ifany lender asks for those fees in cash before giving youany money, walk away – especially if it’s an online lender

asking for money via wire transfer. Charging undisclosedupfront fees is illegal, and cash sent by wire cannot betraced.

• Limit the amount you borrow. Only borrow what youknow you can pay off with your first paycheck. Mostcompanies will allow you to “roll over” the balance forseveral weeks or months but will tack on fees the wholetime. This can result in you owing several times what youborrowed in the first place.

• Know your rights. Payday lenders are required to dis-close certain information before initiating a loan. Thatinformation includes the cost, the interest rate to be paid,and the specific fees that will be paid. Read the fine print.Pay close attention to fees and consequences of non-pay-ment. Will the company allow you to make arrangementsif you cannot pay? Keep your documentation. Many con-sumers said they started receiving calls from collectionsagencies years after they paid off a payday loan. Some ofthese calls were simple errors; others were attempts byscammers to collect a debt that is not owed. Protect your-self by having documentation that all loans were paid infull. Know where to turn. If you feel a lender has com-mitted fraud or taken advantage of you, file a complaintwith BBB and the FTC.For more information or furtherinquiries, contact the Wisconsin BBB at www.bbb.org/wis-consin, 414-847-6000 or 1-800-273-1002. Consumers alsocan find more information about how to protect them-selves from scams by following the Wisconsin BBB onFacebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube.

ABOUT BBB: For more than 100 years, the BetterBusiness Bureau has been helping people find businesses,brands and charities they can trust. In 2018, peopleturned to BBB more than 173 million times for BBBBusiness Profiles on more than 5.4 million businesses andCharity Reports on 11,000 charities, all available for freeat bbb.org.

Spring marks the return ofmany things. Trees and flowersbegin to bloom again in spring,while warmer temperatures arewelcomed back with open arms.Grass also begins to grow againin the spring. That means it’snot too long before homeown-ers have to dust off their lawnmowers and get to work. Thosewho don’t necessarily enjoymowing the lawn may betempted to cut their grass verylow, as doing so can meanlonger intervals between mow-ing sessions. However, mowinggrass too low can have a very adverseeffect on a lawn.

• Cutting too low can injure thegrass. Cutting grass too low can injurethe grass, creating what’s essentially adomino effect of problems to come.Injured grass will focus on its recoveryefforts, thereby making it vulnerable toother issues.

• Cutting too low promotes weedgrowth. Injured grass is vulnerable toinvaders, including weeds and insects.Weeds and insects can attack grass as it

recovers from injury, and before home-owners know it, their lawns are over-come with a host of problems.

• Cutting too low allows crabgrass tothrive. Crabgrass needs ample sunlightto grow. By cutting grass too low, home-owners may unknowingly be promotingcrabgrass growth. Crabgrass is unsightlyand can rob surrounding grass of themoisture it needs to grow. So lawns cuttoo low may not only lose their lushappeal thanks to the unattractiveappearance of crabgrass, but alsobecause areas surrounding the crabgrasspatches might turn brown due to lack ofwater.

• Cutting too low can stress thegrass. Cutting too low also makes lawnsvulnerable to summer heat. Withoutblades tall enough to block some of thesummer sun, grass can quickly succumbto summer heat, leading to dried out,discolored lawns.

The dangers of mowing too low

Mowing grass too low can have a very adverse effecton a lawn.

Cells consistently exposed to viruses and bacteria,demonstrate an unrelenting, cyclical inflammatoryprocess. Job stress, even fragrances sprayed on yourbody, or that fourth cup of sugar-laden cappuccino, fur-ther exacerbate the condition. In this respect, chronicinflammation is tied 100% to lifestyle and environ-ment. Diet, stress levels, and environmental toxin expo-sure, all negatively affect cellular inflammation.

There are a number of food and beverages known tocause cellular inflammation. The most common includesugar, processed carbohydrates, processed and heatedvegetable oils, conventional dairy and animal products,farm raised fish, genetically engineered grains, foodadditives, food coloring and preservatives, alcohol andin some cases, caffeine.

With specific food sensitivities (wheat, gluten, eggs,dairy, nuts, shellfish, peas and other legumes, soy, andcorn), it becomes even more problematic, as those foods

will cause inflammatory reactions merely upon inges-tion.

Along with food sensitivity, stress factors greatlyaffect inflammation. Apart from those emotional stressmoments we can feel, there are many less apparentstressors that go unnoticed, such as blaring televisions,songs and ads on the radio, working under bright, arti-ficial lights, or the constant mind chatter from ourmental to-do list.

We live in a sea of toxins— in the air we breathe,body care products, chemicals sprayed on our food,added to our furniture, carpets and paint, as well asthose concentrated in our drinking water. Since this issuch an important aspect of individual health, testingto determine if and what specific toxins are directlycontributing to your health symptoms and inflamma-tion levels is essential. This can be very overwhelmingfor a lot of people, so it’s helpful to understand where

these toxins are comingfrom in the environment,and subsequently as tohow to remove them andreplace these with saferproducts.
