Your skin can “see”
In a new study, biologists report that melanocyte skin cells detect ultraviolet light using a photosensitive receptor previously thought to exist only in the eye.
That’s right, your skin can sense light, and very quickly. Is it any wonder our senses our heightened when we’re outdoors in the nude? The particular study, reported in Science Daily, had to do with melanin production (which causes tanning and defense against UV light damage), but it’s conceivable to me that there may be other beneficial reactions to light that we’re not consciously aware of.
Our skin is the largest organ in our body, and it was not designed to be covered up all the time!
