Take my word for it, you do not 'know' about skin cancer until you have watched someone die from it.

Try bounce flash off a ceiling and perhaps underexposing via use of the exposure compensation dial.

A lot of your problems from green casts to ghosts could be due to poor printing. Take a look at your negs with a loupe (a 50mm lens will do) If you can see lots of detail on the negs in areas which are washed out in the prints, such as faces, then try taking your negs back and ask them to print them with a stop or two less exposure than the originals. The original exposure info may be printed on the back of the prints by the printing machine.

With respect to green castes and fluorescent lights, you could try one of the Fuji 4 colour layer films like Reala as they are more forgiving of fluorescent lights.

 (yes we all know about
skin cancer I'm not talking about that)
