Warning over dangerous 'barbie drug' tanning trend that could give you cancer

A warning has been issued over the use of a dangerous 'barbie drug' nasal spray that can give you a "deep tan" but could also give you skin cancer.

Speaking on Newstalk Breakfast on Tuesday morning, a dermatologist warned that the drug can give you a "deep tan" but has side effects that can kill you including kidney failure, blood pressure issues, and even skin cancer. "There are patients who have had kidney failure, blood pressure issues, and what we worry about as dermatologists is that, because it enhances your pigment producing cells to produce tan or pigment, it stimulates melanocytes, which are pigment producing cells, and there have been cases of melanoma – which is a very dangerous skin cancer which can be fatal.
