The patient complained to staff of a painful red rash that ran across the middle of his back, which he said he first noticed while undressing following a day's work.
The case study was published in theand is—at least as far as the author is aware—the first documented incident of skin burns caused by the overheating of retroreflective tape.
Medics soon realized the position of the rash matched that of the upper high visibility band of his work shirt, which he had to wear throughout the day for his job as a field environmental engineer. The man told doctors the visibility tape frequently overheats when he is working in the sun—so much so that he sometimes has to change positions just so that it doesn't touch that part of his back.
Vlad says that employers enforcing dress codes that include retroreflective tape should make sure employees do not wear garments in a way that the tape comes in direct contact with skin. She also asks manufacturers to design shirts limiting the amount of tape-to-skin contact as far as possible, for example, by increasing the number or the thickness of cloth layers beneath the tape.

Man Has Absolutely No Clue How Old Anyone He Knows IsLEAVENWORTH, WA—After he was unable to come up with a precise age for any of the dozens of people in his life, sources confirmed Monday that local man Edward Warriner has absolutely no clue how old anyone he knows is. “My dad’s probably in his late 50s, so that means my mom has to be somewhere around there, too, but I’m not totally sure,” said Warriner, adding that he was pretty confident that all of his friends were 28 or 29, just like him, but quickly admitted that he had nothing to base that on. “I think my niece is in middle school—or, come to think of it, maybe it’s high school—she’s definitely a teen or a pre-teen. Oh! My grandpa just had a birthday, and it was his 85th—no, 95th? That can’t be right.” Warriner added that he wasn’t sure how old any of his coworkers were either and, now that he thought about it, he realized that he didn’t know a single one of their names.
