This woman found a maggot in her baby's skin, it's the rainy season and these things are common.

They are caused by a fly that lays eggs on damp clothes when spread outside then the eggs hatch and dig under the skin to become flies

Iron your clothes
RT
Make sure you iron your clothes before you wear them

This condition is known as myiasis.

It can also be gotten from mosquitoes

Cover your skin and your child's skin when they're outside.

Initially it looks like a boil that wouldn't go, but can be painful
This condition is very common in tropical and subtropical regions. Nigeria is in a tropical region.
In humans, the flies mainly responsible are the human botfly (pic. 1&2) and the tumbu fly (pic 2). Look at the photos to recognize them.

NEVER EVER GIVE A NEWBORN HONEY
NEVER EVER GIVE A NEWBORN HONEY
NEVER EVER GIVE A NEWBORN HONEY
Don't give babies honey
Don't give babies below one year honey

They have no business with honey!
You can paralyse a child just by giving them honey, here's how:
Sometimes honey can contain a harmful bacteria that produces toxins that can cause muscle weakness,paralysis and breathing problems in babies

Don't give honey to children under one year of age

The issue is this, no one might suspect the honey is the cause, because its "natural"
This usually affects babies less than 6 months, and is caused by Clostridium

The condition is called infant botulism.

Honey can be contaminated by the spores of this bacteria and they grow into bacteria in the intestine and release toxins that can lead to paralysis

If you have parents with hypertension or diabetes, be careful the cooking oil they use
As they get older, there is risk of high cholesterol, because their bodies can’t clear cholesterol from the blood as well as they could when they were younger
Let me explain
RT for awareness
There are two kinds of fats in the blood

Good fat and bad fat

Good fat is called HDL, while the bad fat is called LDL
The good fat absorbs cholesterol and carries it back to the liver, which then removes it from the body
Bad fat just accumulates in your vessels
When you go the market and get cooking oils from unknown sources, you might be raising your bad fat
How?
Some of these sellers add things like shea butter, bleached palm oil that contain saturated fat that increase your bad fat and deposit in your vessels #SayNoToUnbrandedOil

Different ways you can prevent pregnancy with their pros and cons

1. The Male Condom

A sheath usually made of latex that covers the penis and blocks sperm from reaching the vagina

How effective? 95%. But in actual use about 85%

Side effects: some people have a latex allergy
Female condoms

Cheap also, but availability is not as common as the male condom, it is put into the vagina and blocks sperms from reaching the uterus.

Side effects: allergies to latex
How effective? About 79%

Many people do not know how to use it properly, some haven't seen it
Cervical cap:
A cap-like device that covers the cervix, can also be filled with spermicides(substances that kill sperms.

Do yourself a favor, look at the back of your noodles. Check the amount of Sodium at the back.

You're supposed to have less than 2.3g of Sodium PER DAY, anything higher places you at risk of hypertension

Add work stress to this, you can see that you may not be helping yourself.
Sodium pulls water to itself, taking a lot of Sodium will attract more water into your bloodstream, more water in your bloodstream means the volume of blood in your bloodstream has increased forcing your heart to work harder and over time, damage your kidneys

Cut down sodium.
Yes, your body still needs sodium for other processes, but like I said, less than 2.3g daily or a teaspoon of salt.

You can still reduce the amount of salt you take on a daily basis, if you must take noodles, don't use all the seasoning.

Your taste buds will adjust. Trust me
