Nail Salon Health Hazards
February 11, 2009
Nail salons can also be host to several diseases like respiratory disease, cancer, nervous system and reproductive system disorders as well as skin damages. The nail salons use concentrated chemicals. A certain amount of education is needed to use them.
If you are a regular at a nail salon or work at one, then you might be at risk by breathing these chemicals.
Severe skin allergies can result from the chemical used in regular manicures as well as pedicures.
Studies show that some women incurred fungal infections during pedicure sessions. Nail fungus is a very infectious disease, which can easily spread in such places. Ringworm is also a similar type of irritating disease. The drills and cuticle pushers can cause damage to the matrix of the nail, which may result in permanent loss or deformity.
Some healthy tips
Here are some useful tips that will help you keep away from nail salon health hazards.
Keep clean
All the instruments that are used should be cleaned thoroughly and no dirty used instruments should be allowed to lie around. This will minimise the chances of germs breeding on these instruments and spreading.
Licensed use
You should ensure that the place is licensed. The licensing authorities require the salon to follow certain guidelines. This will ensure your safety.
Use new ones when required
Instruments like toe spreaders and emery boards cannot be cleaned. Disposable ones should be used and they should never be reused. They should be discarded after a single use.
Avoid cutting cuticles
When you cut cuticles, you put yourself at the risk of infection. Instead of cutting cuticles, insist that your beautician pushes them back. Cuticles are protective coverings and cutting them will make you lose your natural protection.
Have it your own way
If you are not sure about the standards of cleanliness at your salon, or if you do not want to take a risk, then you can bring your own instruments to the salon. This way you can ensure proper cleanliness and keep away from infection.
Play safe
As soon as you see an infection, consult your doctor.
