I MANAGED TO TAKE A SHOT OF THIS AWFUL AND DANGEROUS PRACTICE WHICH HAS GAIN PATRONAGE IN GHANA TODAY. THESE ‘ABOCHIS’ ARE SPREADING INFECTIONS LIKE HIV, HEPATITIS B, TETANUS AMONG OTHER DISEASES BUT WE SEE IT AS A NORMAL PRACTICE.

HOW LAZY OR BUSY ARE YOU THAT YOU CAN’T TRIM YOUR NAILS. COME TO THINK OF IT, THEY HAVE NO CHEMICAL OR ANTISEPTIC LOTION TO CLEAN THE SCISSORS OR KNIFE THEY USE. THIS IS DANGEROUS. I’VE SPEND SPENT SOME WEEKS INTERVIEWING AND EDUCATING INDIVIDUALS WHO PATRONIZED THEIR SERVICES AND ABOUT 85% CONFIRMED THAT THEY’VE HAD CUTS OF VARIOUS DEGREES EITHER ON THE TOE OR FINGERNAILS. BE HEALTH CONSCIOUS!!

PEOPLE HAVE ARGUED THAT HIV CANNOT BE SPREAD THROUGH THIS MEANS. ACCORDING TO WHO, SHARING OF SHARPS LIKE BLADE, SCISSORS ETC ACCOUNT FOR 0.01% TRANSMISSION RATE OF HIV. MEANING WHEN 100 PEOPLE ARE DIAGNOSED IS LIKELY 1 PERSON HAD IT THROUGH THE SHARING OF SHARPS. ALSO, THE HEPATITIS B VIRUS CAN SURVIVE UP TO SEVEN DAYS OUTSIDE THE BODY AND CAN CAUSE INFECTION DURING THAT PERIOD. TALK OF THE ORGANISM THAT CAUSES TETANUS. IT CAN ADAPT TO VARIOUS CONDITIONS THAT MENTHOLATED SPIRIT CANNOT KILL IT(A SPORE FORMING ORGASM).

THIS POST IS NOT INTENDED TO KILL ANY BUSINESS BUT TO EDUCATE.
