Dangers of manicures, body piercings, and tatoos

Live healthy and long

From Dr. Mercola archives | January 2012 


There is a growing trend in the PHL (probably copied and from USA and popularized by athletes -  basketball players and boxers and actresses) for tatoos, and body piercings.

The downside is that in US, there are probably 4 million Americans with a contagious difficult to cure disease  -  hepatatis B.  And for many locals, those with body piercings and tatoos cannot get health certifications that will enable them to work abroad.  

What is a hepa B -  is a viral infection that affects the liver and may be accompanied by any or all of the symptoms:    fever, jaundice, fever, fatigue, joint pain.

On the other hand, manicure can cause any of the following:   infections from using of unsterilized tools, hepa v, and toxic chemicals from hair polish.

Suggestions:   avoid the tatoo and body piercing cult;  and you can just buff your fingernails or just do the usual nail cutting routine.
