A pill that prevents sunburn could be making its way to drugstore shelves in the next five years. British scientists have discovered a process that allows coral to shield itself against harmful UV rays.

As a sun worshiper and lake lover I’m thrilled with the idea.

I’m thinking the folks at Coppertone and Panama Jack are sweating bullets right about now.

So, for discussion sake – if there were a pill that worked effectively on preventing sunburn, would you take it?
