My skin cancer resulted from black people, though; and I didn't have any warnings about their incidental transference of the ultraviolet light. I work in a racial mixed workplace and itch when I am around the blacks. I have had three melanomas removed and DO NOT have an skin cancer in my family. I did not sun bathe in my youth. After the removal of my 2nd melanoma, my doctor spoke very frankly with me about black people's incidental transference, a thing he called AAIT.
