Millions will soon need expensive treatments and die due to missing treatments. Alerts to reduce the annual increase of 1.5 million new cases is lacking. About 1.5 million people die each year. There are city areas or even among US veterans where an expressive number of infected people can be found. Governments and Health Authorities are lacking to start alerting campaigns to increase awareness to prevent new contaminations. In many countries, most third world countries, it is not difficult to find beauty technicians poorly informed about sanitation rules. There are still some barbers who use esteemed razors and reuse blades to shave necks and sideburns on clients without a right sterilization. Similar facts can occur with shared manicure, pedicure, piercing, tattooing ink, and podiatry. It occurs because technicians disregard what they are doing. When asked, they disprove such actions. Shared needles, sniffing straws, crack pipes, razors, files, sharp manicure tool and toothbrushes also infect. People have to be more informed about these contamination risks. The Amazon region has a high degree of incidence, communitarian toothbrushes are still shared by millions of poor people, mostly by children. In some areas 60% of people are infected. There is even a type of hepatitis virus, which prevails in the region.

In some countries, millions of nail technicians just boil, clean their tools in poor sanitized liquids, or leave tools too shortly exposed to heat, not sterilizing all the microorganisms. Daily Dermatologists confirm new contaminations. Tourists can also be contaminated. It happens just too frequently that nail technicians inflict new infections to their clients due to their low awareness of contaminations. People’s awareness has to be renewed and sanitary controls have to be frequently and rigorously done. The only methods to right sterilize shared tools is by using an Autoclave but, it only works when the long and expensive process is correctly done. The other methods are by using disposable instruments and tools or the best, using only strictly personal tools. Only so, in many countries the contamination risks can decrease. In these countries sanitary controls are rare, information is lacking and contaminations are high.

In Manicure and Pedicure, when nails are painted, cut not to close to the nail’s bed and softly filed, the contamination risks are insignificant. But, most scientific researchers forget that millions of nail care doers push, lift and cut cuticles. They also treat ingrown, sick nails or infected skin where procedures can involve cuts and nicks. More often than we imagine, micro-lacerations infect through micro-particles of lymph, blood or microorganisms. One wound after the next is infected when tools are not sterile. In many countries it is a fact that nail technicians create wounds and pass to clients bacteria, fungi and viruses, even the hepatitis B, C, D, etc. Just by watching them working, one can confirm how diseases are transported on infected tools. In few cases, when nails are cut too close to the nail’s bed, lymph can leak and pass to the next user, if there is a wound and tools are not sterile. Squeezed blood or lymph infects different users through micro-bleedings. Frequently bad sharpened or bad quality tools or even the best cutting tool can increase lacerations. They produce bloody nicks when cuticles are cut, lifted or sick nails are treated. People get infected with nail fungi (mycosis), warts, herpes, paronychias, piogenic granuloma, erysipelas and why do they not get infected with hepatitis? Hepatitis is a blood born infection and the viruses are difficult to sterilize, the worst, many scientists say, the virus can survive for months on a tool’s surface. Once a person contracts one of the hepatitis viruses through a laceration, it takes some 4 months for the detection of the first antibodies in the blood and about 20 years for an illness to develop into a liver cirrhosis or cancer. This time factor makes the diagnosis difficult and this is why so few prevention and research is made. Some viruses were discovered in the last decades and scientists are still not sure how the different viruses’ transmissions occur.

The solutions to prevent these manicure risks are: People have to be aware. Urgently new rules for technicians and alert campaigns are necessary. Users need effective sanitary rules and knowledge to prevent new contaminations. Sterilization of shared tools should only be done through the correct use of autoclaves or people should use their own strictly personal or disposable tools. But, for most users and nail technicians, mainly in 3° World countries, these 3 alternatives are too expensive and complicate to be used. Most scientists and Sanitary Officials do not agree with what is written in here but, this problem is largely understated, it is a real problem, contaminations are increasing and there is not a general solution available. Face to these limitations, an appropriate solution to prevent cross-contaminations, is to use a simple and inexpensive alternative that minimizes health damages to individuals and communities.
