In today's time, many girls are fond of having long nails. Actually this is a new trend which is better in terms of beauty, but the research done by scientists on long nails is shocking and also alerts. In fact, according to research, long nails of humans can be home to more than 32 bacteria and more than 28 species of fungus. Yes, recently this claim has been made by scientists of the American University of Washington DC.
Let us tell you that researchers have said that during the research, bacteria named Staph aureus have also been found in long nails. In fact, it is a bacteria that is responsible for skin infections and is not affected by antibiotics. Not only this but it has also been reported that bacteria can live right under the nail. They reach the nail when they touch things and come in contact with the infection. In fact, the bacteria and fungus present under the nails cannot be seen with the naked eye, due to which there is a need to alert oneself to this 'unknown danger'. Let us tell you that American scientists have alerted about this danger in their recent research.
In this way, there is more danger than nails - in fact Washington DC biologist Dr. According to Jeffrey Caplan, there is currently a trend of long artificial, natural, gel and acrylic nails. These types of nails are more at risk because they can become home to more bacteria and fungus. In fact, after eating, biting or itching in the nail, these bacteria present in the nail reach many parts of the body and cause infection. Not only this, but when this happens, the shape of the nail also starts deteriorating.
These symptoms indicate infection – usually these bacteria do not cause harm. But if its serious infection spreads then there can be many problems. For example, symptoms like swelling in the nail part, thickening of the nail.
