A key warning for those who love nails They are easier to get viruses

The habit of biting nails, which is found in all age groups from children to adults, creates serious risks from both a visual and health point of view. While the person needs to hide their nails from others, many infections can be transmitted to the body manually. Noting that the skin is an important immune organ for the body, the Faculty of Medicine of the Balcalı Hospital Infectious Diseases Department Lecturer Assoc. Dr Süheyla Kömür said: “Microorganisms do not enter people whose skin integrity is intact. But when we break the integrity of the skin by biting the nails, we create various damage. We create pathways for microorganisms to enter. It causes problems from the skin. nail bed inflammations to other soft tissue infections. Therefore, ensuring hand hygiene., for protection and maintenance, nails should not be eaten, “he said.

INCREASE THE RISK

Recalling that the coronavirus is transmitted both by contact and by droplet, Assoc. Dr Coal said: “If these droplets touched the surrounding environment, if we touched those points with our hands and were biting our nails, we could be infected when we put our hands to our mouth, face and eyes. Because when we carry hands to mouth, we bring microorganisms directly to our body. Therefore, it is much more important to stop the habit of nail biting during this period. We have the main points of protection from the coronavirus. Mask, distance, hand hygiene. In the point where we stop hand hygiene, we reduce the effect of other measures. When the nibbler touches his mask, it pollutes and reduces his protection. We may not keep our hands clean at any time. If they cannot leave with personal effort , they can get help from a psychiatrist spoke.

‘THINKING OF DRIVING IMMUNITY IS SCARY’

A group of scientists who opposed quarantine measures for the coronavirus has come together. More than 10,000 scientists and researchers signed the resulting Great Barrington Declaration in two weeks. Almost 30,000 health workers and over 535,000 civilians also signed the declaration. Pointing out that it’s scary to think of herd immunity to the coronavirus, which has a 1 to 3% lethal effect, Assoc. Dr. Coal said:

“Herd immunity, from society spend a vaccination or an infection of a certain segment intended to be immune to the virus. This vaccine-free Turkey infection will be spent by 70 to 50 percent of the population in natural and sensitive people to reduce the risk of encountering this infection. But if we go like this If 60 million people contract the virus. When we look at the lethal effect of the disease, we lose 1 to 3% of our patients. That means it could cause the loss of 2- 3 million people. The World Health Organization (WHO) has already stated that this method is immoral. It is valuable to us, each individual is someone’s mother, father and relative. Therefore, protection is still very important. “.
