Anyone know why "bruising" and "brown spots" are common in the summer? Not as nice as the canonical answer of "ice cream"...

In case you're wondering what's popular in winter: it's lots of diseases!

Stone fruit (peaches, plums, apricots, nectarines) are in season in the summer and easily bruise and get brown spots when they overripen.

Just Google these words and add the word 'summer' to get some ideas. Here's what I came up with:

Bruising: More children play outside in the summer → more bruises → more parents/children(?) Googling for it. Brown spots: Might be referring to brown spots in someone's lawn due to the weather? Or summer freckles?
