Tell me,
Is there anything Really Safe?
I've been learning during lectures that many things are unsafe, and many gd things are actually not tt gd afterall :(
Rmbr how our parents and grandparents will encourage us to get chicken pox cos they believe that we can only get it once?
Think again...
Last wk, i was taught that Varicella Zoster virus that causes chicken pox reside in our nerves after our infection is cleared and may cause shingles when our immune system is weaker when we're older.
Rmbr how our mothers use to warn us about hotel towels and how they may not be clean?
She got it right this time, cos ystdy, i learnt that herpes can be transmitted via towels. Imagine getting a disease that is usually transmitted via sexual contact from some inanimate object!
And... while we all thought Non-stick pans can help every household reduce the amt of oil used in cooking, Teflon is carcinogenic.
Sigh
Sometimes, ignorance is bliss.
