I made a thread of 10 most dangerous risky health practices Nigerians engage in after talking to different people around Nigeria

Pls share and Retweet

1
Putting Maggi in the Anus for better sex

This is a common practice in the North in a bid to tighten the vagina & anus

Putting Maggi in the Anus & Vagina is very dangerous. it can erode the walls of the anus and vagina as the mixture can form a corrosive fluid

This corrosive fluid can tear the walls of the vagina and anus. From these tears, infections can set in

2
Cooking Meat with Paracetamol

Might sound shocking but some people admitted to cooking Meat with Paracetamol to make it tender on-time

Paracetamol can damage the liver, kidney, brain and other organs in these excess quantities. Cooking it makes it very toxic and unsafe meat

3
Washing Toilet by Mixing Hypo, Bleach,& other liquids together

Another dangerous one. The mixtures generate deadly fumes which can contain Chlorine & other gases that when inhale can damage the lungs

It can knock people out and damage your eyes. Never mix your toilet products

4
Eating Placenta after delivery

This is gaining grounds amongst people where they eat their Placenta; some admitted to making Placenta shakes by blending the Placenta into juice

This is dangerous, Placenta could carry infections and if eaten can be dangerous. This also to the newborn child. Don't eat Placenta or take Placenta juice in any form not even Placenta shakes or Placenta Chapman

No

5
Feeding Baby with Feeding Bottles

We now know for sure that Babies should not be fed with feeding Bottles

Best is to use Cup & Spoon in feeding. The Teats & covers of feeding bottles can contain bacteria & can affect the child

Cup & Spoon reduces the chances of infections

6
Eating bottom pot burnt food eg burnt jollof

we say the bottom part tastes better. but guess what the burnt part has its structure changed & can increase your chances of having a cancer

It's advisable not to make eating bottom part burnt food a norm. It isn't healthy & safe

7

Inhaling and smelling Hand Sanitizers ,Alcohol and Spirits

This perhaps is gaining grounds. It is even more dangerous than drinking.

The inhaled steam goes into your lungs and then your system directly. This can cause infections and lung problems coupled with organ damage

8
Putting things inside the Penis

Putting things inside the penis is a new pleasure people are exploring. Inside the urethra where urine comes from

It's dangerous & can tear the urethra, also infections. Later if it heals poorly can cause a stricture which requires surgery

9

Using toothpick

This might come as shocking as almost every restaurant and dining table has on the table.

It is advisable to use a Dental floss. These tooth picks can damage your tooth and introduce bacteria into your gums causing terrible infections

10
Unprotected Sex

There has been an increase in HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases . People now neglect the use of protection eg Condoms during sex

No one is immune to Sexual diseases and it can be detrimental to your health from infertility, organ damage, pregnancy complications, damage the unborn child Etc

Safe to use a protection and get treated urgently if you've got STDs
