safety

Avatar f tn s nails. I would wait until he was asleep for sure. And I only used those baby safety scissors. AND, I actually just used a baby nail file a lot of the time to keep them short. I found . . . now my pediatrician told me to do this so don't think I'm gross . . . but I could bit them off really easy. I probably filed them more than anything though. But I hear ya . . . those nails get sharp and it's kind of scary to cut them. They are really thin though so come off easy.
596812 tn?1219352735 Well the scissors that I was poked with (in the thumb) had been in the solution well over 8 hours probably more like 12 to 24 hours but I was scrubbing the scissors with a little scrub brush and my hand slipped causing me to poke myself in the thumb! As I was cleaning the darn things I noticed there was no blood or anything on the scissors that I could see but i was thinking to myself how bad it would suck to stick myself and them BAM out of nowhere my hand slipped and I poked myself.
Avatar f tn It sounds as if there is some interaction/communication problem at home , I think this child needs some help ASAP
Avatar m tn even with that can u have hiv? and he had cut my skin with scissors only while cutting my hair..
Avatar f tn I'm 15 and I noticed that I've grown a lot of hair downstairs, but don't have a razor, and my dad doesn't like helping with this stuff... So I was wondering if I could shave with scissors or would that be bad?
Avatar f tn Omg when I first got pregnant my mom flipped out and told me to wear a safety pin or something metal or the moon will have an impact on my baby and could have cleft lip she scared me lol
Avatar f tn am Mexican and what we do is wear a red ribbon with a safety pin around our belly the whole pregnancy it helps prevent any effects to the unborn baby I wore it for my 2 pregnancy and I am doing for this one as well and my baby are perfectly fine I don't take it off for nothing I shower with it
Avatar f tn I volunteer in a healthcare setting and I had small scissors in my hand that were used on an HIV infected individual. Those scissors grazed my middle finger. I didn't think much of it because there was no hole in my gloves or apparent blood but todayI checked my finger and noticed a super small (1mm) superficial scab on my finger. Is this something I should be worried about as much as I am right now?
Avatar m tn Do you think that if someone got their hair cut that day and got blood on the scissors, or the barber cut his finger on the scissors right now ; then i got cut by them that there is any way i could get HIV's if the person that was cut was HIV positive? I should point out that the barber is openly gay. I don't mean this in any derogatory way, but this does add to my concern.
Avatar m tn She used the same pair of scissors to do my nails, but before starting to work on my nails she sprayed the scissors with some liquid that I supposed it was some kind of desinfectant . The client before me didnt bled. Is there any chance to be infected with HIV? I have to mention that my wonded fingers didnt get infected after my manicure and the wound heald fast.
696569 tn?1276535119 I would like to know what health risks are associated with tattooing, and more importantly, how I can protect myself against them. What should I look for in a good tattoo parlor?
6501229 tn?1381870669 I know I am taking your time but please please give me some advice since I am a very anxious and nervous person about my health. I am very scared about infectious diseases. This incident happened however seems very ridiculous but I have to bring my concern to somewhere.
Avatar f tn His fine and gross motor skills are unrivaled, he can use child safety scissors perfectly and do lots of those small fidgety things with ease...but ask him to say scissors and he just wanders away from you. Zach is doing great, he is huge! He comes to school with me and does fairly well and everyone loves to love him.
Avatar n tn Then I came home and put the sprinklers on and cut my hand, and then the doorbell went seconds after I cut my hand but don't think my sprinklers cut was bleeding though but not sure. At the door it was a guy who injects steroids who I know and he shook my hand and noticed he had a cut on his hand which from it I could tell had been bleeding, don’t know if it still was or how old it was.
Avatar m tn I was doing maintenance downstairs and using a pair of scissors to trim, when I accidentally nicked the bottom of my shaft... it isn't a deep cut but it did cause some bleeding to occur. It's directly on top of the main vein. I've been freaking out all day thinking of possible infection and so on. Immediately after it happened, I used some alcohol and cotton to clean it (it did sting), and I did this several times.
Avatar f tn (Materials- Safety Pins and Jar). Pass around a jar full of baby safety pins. The one who guesses the closest wins a baby shower prize. A baby shower game favorite! One of our visitors, Lynn, stated that she filled a clear plastic container (about 50 qt size with disposable diapers) all the same size (size 1) and had people guess how many diapers were in the container. Of course, container and contents go to mom since, as we all know, you can never have enough diapers.
Avatar f tn I certainly agree with the others. It is also (hopefully) possible that she has recently discovered scissors and is using them on everything. Lock up the scissors. Girls getting into makeup is not unusual. They like to copy mommy. And an immediate timeout at this age is appropriate. After her timeout is over (6 min) explain why. In the book, "SOS Help for Parents," by Lynn Clark you can find a great explanation of using the timeout system.
Avatar f tn I cut my top part of my vagina lip with scissors by mistake while trimming.... the part is long 4mm and wide 2 mm - I did not have pain nor almost no blood..... i am very worried as i suppose i cut some nerves. Is it fatal, Am i going to loose my sensitivity ? Is it going to renegerate??
202436 tn?1326474333 Seeing this post made me feel a little better about my toddler who has done similar things. Couple months ago my husband left ear drops down so of course my son decided to drink some! Poison control was very helpful and told me he would be fine and at the very worst he would puke. My son hasn't gotten a hold of scissors but he has gotten the nail clippers and put small wholes in my shirts. Everyone I've talked to said if that's the worst he ever does then I'm lucky.
Avatar n tn t usually cut her fingernails with scissors, too hard to maneuver unless they are those tiny little ones and why in the world would your mom want to cut out a label with tiny scissors? Oh well, not for me to judge. In any event, having hepc, your sister should not leave her personal scissors where others can access them. What do I think? Exactly what your parents think. You have nothing to worry about.
Avatar f tn If a condom fails the wearer will undoubtedly know that it breaks, correct?
Avatar n tn The vast majority of salons take health and safety very seriously, and use sterilisers. It is fair to say however, that not all hairdressers and barbers are aware of the risks, however small. Using hairdressers and barbers while travelling is not without its' risks. There is evidence that razors, clippers and other associated equipment that are not effectively cleaned are linked to higher rates of infection. http://www.hepatitisscotlandc.org.
Avatar n tn I am happy that you have not had any reactions after a year, and I hope that my daughter will be the same. I am more aware that you have to take your and your families health in your own hands and research everything before allowing them to inject them/you with something that has not had a lot of studying. I will be more careful in the future. Thanks again for commenting.
Avatar f tn My mother is 99 and keeps picking and using scissors to cut away dry skin from her chin every hour of every day.
