Avatar m tn i have read an article stating how some people may have been exposed to the hiv virus (and hepatitis) because the hospital didnt use the proper sterilization on colonoscopy equipment. and another similar article that stated those that underwent ear, nose, and throat treatments were exposed too. how likely is someone to catch the hiv virus from a situation like this?

Avatar f tn I would say wait a little and say something after you are about to show. UNLESSyou are in a work environment where people need to know for yours and baby's safety. For example, I am pregnant with me 2nd and I work in a pharmacy as a technician. My coworkers need to know because there are some drugs I can't handle for baby's safety. I'm only 8 weeks and they knew about 3 weeks ago. Just to take precautions!
Avatar m tn No tattoo artist is going to reuse a needle on you. Believe me. They have been trained on safety precautions. They can't be an artist without passing tests and courses- these include bloodborne pathogen safety protocols. No one reused a needle on you. This can't even happen by accident. No one is going to leave a used needle laying around, pick it up, then use it on the next customer. This DOES NOT happen. Doing something like this places the artist at way more risk than the customer.
Avatar m tn All the chemists use these chemicals daily outside on their benches without a hood but I try to use it always in the hood after I found out I was pregnant. Is it safe to stay working in the lab? I am not sure what the air level for these solvents are, but my supervisors keep saying that it is safe to stay working. please advice. I am not sure what my legal rights are?
Avatar m tn The article you reference makes no mention of HIV - that is because HIV cannot be transmitted that way. If you have other questions about the safety of using dental equipment, we suggest visiting the Dental Health forum, as this forum is HIV specific.
Avatar n tn Does that mean installation safety or environmental safety? One responder commented on the installation safety and another poster commented on environmental risks. Another responder parsed the OP's question and said the question related to warranty, and there should not be a comment on environmental issues as that was not the question.
Avatar n tn its a few different areas on the roof of my mouth, lowest one being near my tonsils. I cannot remember if i burned my mouth on anything this weekend, all i know is i had a lot of different food late saturday night at a mexican restaurant. Does anyone know what it would look like if you slightly burned the roof of your mouth? i am hoping it is that and nothing more serious, but any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Avatar f tn Many kids with autism have difficulties at school. Hopefully all are working with him on these things. good luck to your nephew.
1512722 tn?1313697879 When I started my job I was informed there was a person I'd be working with has hepatitis( can't remember which one but a bad one) she had told me shed talk to the boss bout me getting my shots. That was 5 months ago and I was ttc so I wasn't sure what to do. I hadn't worked with this lady more then a few time so I figured I'd wait. Well now I work with her 3+ times a week! Should start the round of shots now??
Avatar f tn Thank you. The health pages on here? So even if someone had just poked themselves. I was worried that since it was mangled someone could have lefet it there.
Avatar f tn Can anyone give me any tips for working? I work at McDonalds and still have to do heavy lifting and do just as much work as everyone else.. I also don't get to pee when I need to which is painful. Any tips on how I can get them to go a bit easier on me without people thinking I'm receiving special treatment?
Avatar f tn I yelled at them and they took, just so annoyed that people have no respect for other people or their own safety. Urrgh hope my son doesnt turn out to be a douche bag like this teenagers.
Avatar f tn I mean, I guess I understand there has to be some restriction due to weight, etc. and the safety of the plane, but come on..if ever a group should be given special consideration.
Avatar m tn Many people on the forum have continued to work. Sometimes it depends on the type of work you do. If you have a sit down office job, that would make it easier to work than if you were a registered nurse working 12 hour shifts in ICU, a roofer climbing ladders and balancing on the roof edges, someone doing skyscraper construction, an electrician climbing poles or even connecting wires (the brain is not all there, LOL), doing any type of precision work.
Avatar f tn My question is will it harm me in any way for staying on it? I dont want to cause any more problems for myself by staying on it but evidently I lack serotonin and the paxil replaces it. Any info that you might give me would be greatly appreciated.
Avatar m tn I was shocked years ago during a science experiment to build a miniature electric fence. (Four wood pegs on a board with four nails and wire wrapped around them) Plugged it into a extension chord and into wall(110), instead of the 9 v battery. Was thrown half way acrossed the room. No side effects from that so I think you'll be OK.
Avatar m tn I know that I did not look at it for more than 2 seconds. After this happened I looked at the booklet for safety. Which it does say not to look directly into it. And to note that the laser was invisible to the naked human eye. I have not noticed anything since this happened an hour ago. I have tried searching to see if a laser from a computer mouse can cause vision damage but have found nothing solid.
867582 tn?1311627397 Will follow right up on it! I plan on staying indoors virtually all summer except for early am trips for groceries etc. but I know sometimes I'll have to go out in the heat briefly for necessities - so I want to be prepared with a vest. And a cool summer season to you too!
Avatar f tn m obsessed with washing my hands due to money handling and equipment (returns), I do however sometimes take fruit like watermelon and melon to snack on and eat with a fork instead...any suggestions? We don't really get breaks cause we have to attend to the customers. Any advice!?!?
475300 tn?1312423126 Did you know that the Red Cross will refuse a blood donation from someone who has had either a tattoo or permanent makeup applied during the previous 12 months? That should tell us something! I think the ink cup refill is a good point to bring up -- but, I think more importantly are the bizillions of microscopic blood splatters that cannot be seen on the outside of the gun, on the vinyl table, on the artist's arms, ink bottles, etc. etc. etc.
Avatar f tn Maybe, if it is not safe for you to continue in your role, your employer could provide another position for you (depending on your contract, I think this is legally the correct protocol for employers to follow).
Avatar m tn "So wire swab and small blade with the infected fluid is not infectious when exposed to air?" This assumes that the doctor's office didn't sterilize it. Get real; that's an irrational assumption. But I already said that even if they didn't, there would be no risk. I haven't changed my mind in the past coupel of yours. "Can i get on with my life and get married?" Of course you can, as related to any potential risks in the doctor's office.
Avatar m tn On youtube search Cell Phone Dangers | Dr. Devra Davis @ National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) or wake up call from gia foundation.

Avatar f tn If, hypothetically speaking, the previous patient has hep c, is there risk? Because I have read on the internet that hepatitis c spreads through contaminated equipment.
