To be fair i think air conditioning isn't that healthy for you anyway. Have you ever stepped out of an air conditioned building and got that wonderful shock to the system as the tempreture suddenly wacks up 10 degree's. Rapid heat gain or loss like that is not good for your homeostasis
I don't tan either. I just go pink then red. My ginger hair turns sun bleached blonde if i've been out in it for too long. Sun burned scalp = Pain if you have long hair

I have been in and out of air conditioned buildings. When I was in Egypt we snuck into a posh hotel in the middle of Cairo, just to cool down. When we left it was like being put from the fridge into the oven.
I also do work in a polytunnel every week, walking into it at the moment is like walking into a sauna. My glasses steam up. Coming back out into 25 degree heat feels like walking into a cool breeze in comparison.
Ah yes, the ginger gene. My hair is reddish brown, and I get freckles. I don't know where it comes from, my mother is blonde and my father has black hair (or did before he went bald). Ginger people should stay clear of sunshine.
