If you're unsure about a hair dye, apply a small portion on a part of your skin first to see if there's any reaction before applying on your scalp.
Some contain PPD (p-Phenylenediamine)
PPD is banned in some countries
It can cause this swelling
RT to help someone.
Not everybody will have this reaction to hair dyes containing PPD, but if you do, it can be really painful!
The reactions can start as soon as 2 days after
But that's not where it stops
You run the risk of getting sensitized to these dyes, what does it mean? It means that if you ever get exposed again, you may develop a life threatening reaction to it.
There is the case of a woman who died from a reaction to hair dye she had used before
If you have ever had a reaction to hair dyes, no matter how little, avoid using hair dyes that contain p-Phenylenediamine or Toluene-2,5-diamine.
Ask to see what the contents are before your barber uses it on you
If you have a reaction, see a doctor immediately

I'll never forget this woman that came in with a swollen right leg, she had lost so much weight.
This was in 2015 where I was trying to get some skills before placement.
We asked questions, did our investigations and found out that she had cervical cancer, it broke our hearts. It had started spreading to other organs in her body and usually, at this point, her chances were looking bad.
She showed her previous photos, was so full of life
We talked a lot before she died, sometimes, when I wasn't on duty, I would go see her and spend time by her bedside, talked about her dreams, her passions, her kids had left her alone, her husband too.
I noticed people usually have clearer visions towards the end of life

The cough, sore throat and body pain you have right now is not malaria.
I know it's your body, but it's not malaria.
Here in this part of the world, we assume that once you have generic symptoms, it's malaria. So sometimes, without a test, people go out and get drugs.
Wrong.
Sometimes ,the symptoms are a pointer.
Cough, cattarh, are usually symptoms of a respiratory infection not malaria
Fever, joint pains, a feeling of being unwell. these are what we refer to as non-specific symptoms. Could be anything really. It's always best to test. See a doctor. Get your symptoms analyzed, it could point to where it's coming from.

You can't talk and swallow at the same time because the lungs and the stomach chook leg inside one trouser for your neck.
When you want to swallow, the gateman of the trachea, (the expressway that leads to the lungs) comes to close the gate so that food no go enter the lungs
Because if food enter, na wahala be that o
The lungs exchange gases, they don't digest food. It's not multipurpose lungs. Don't force them to do another work like our nation is doing.
When food or liquid find their way into the lungs, the lungs will fight it...na foreigner
My family was all good until I had a surgery in 2007 where my father had to pay out of pocket for it. Many families never recover from health emergencies for a long time.
The person might recover from the illness, but your pocket might not.
No one is praying to fall ill, but if you do, you need to be sure that you're not going to be pushed into poverty by that illness.
You might think ah! It's just a small admission, before you know what's happening, millions gone.
I remember this man whose wife fell ill, he had to use everything they had, after that, they had to move back to the village.
She's still ill. He was one of the big men in Alaba market before this happened. You might say village people, I say a lack of proper health insurance
