    @[email protected] If you sit at a magnesium fire, it burns at 3300K, which is hot enough to produce sizeable ultraviolet rays. So you can get your sunburn from that, damaging the DNA in whatever of your remaining cells have not been melted away by heat.

      Note to self - Don’t sit near a magnesium fireplace if you don’t want to tan your bones, which are now exposed due to the flesh getting melted off by the said fireplace.
