A lot of people when they have sore throat just think it is a minor thing and Go

I have licked tom tom or hot water, it has gone.

But NO
That sore throat might look mild AND disappear now but if not well attended to cause a deadly disease later in future

I'll explain
RETWEET

Sore throat which is an infection of the throat can be caused by Viruses, Bacteria, etc

The one we are worried about is the Bacteria called STREPTOCOCCUS
(I know this sounds familiar STREPTOKOKKUS & STAPHYLOKOKKUS cleanser.. Remember those vendors..lol)

Moving on

When you have this Infection with the Streptococcus that's when you then have the Fever, pain with swallowing sometimes a Rash

The go thing now is people just lick tomtom, go to chemist to buy drugs, hot water & many more

Oh yeah you feel better after all, Disease disappear?

Men. This is for you

If you have one testicle (balls) or can't find the second testicles you should be worried

Try and go to the hospital and let the Doctors find the missing testicle

That missing balls can turn into a cancer if not found and addressed

So normally when a baby is developing the testes balls are usually in the tummy

But as time goes on they come down and stay in the scrotum outside the Body

In some cases they might not come down and can hang in the tummy or go to another place entirely -UNDESCENDED TESTES

A lot of men don't know because they never took note of how many balls they have

The danger is this .. if this missing testes is not found.

Wherever it is the missing testes can change to a cancer ..this is usually difficult to treat and dangerous

So I was reminiscing on how technology and phones has taken away the place of good companion, friendships , moments together after I and a couple of friends organised a eat and meet get together to share good times

So the venue was a small family friendly restaurant with a booking of 10 people

Lots of games had been lined out. I could swear my head was filled with fantasies of how a bomb.. laughter and moments we were up for

People arrived and after all introduction we were sitter..games started. It was funny to see how everyone was stuck to their phone

At every point you barely will find almost half of people scrolling through their phones . It was meant to be s together time but phones took over

A lot of people have eating problems..some people have been scared to look for help and some don't understand what an eating problem is.

Some have died of complications from eating problems

Check out this thread I simplified eating problems & please Retweet and Share

ANOREXIA NERVOSA

Perhaps the common one. Commonly shown in media, movies. The person is scared of gaining weight

Put so much value on being thin, this fear leads some extreme measures to reduce food which can impart negatively on the entire body build

A lot can present with problems like complaints of not seeing their menses (not pregnant), weak bones that can fracture easily

-you'd notice a change in the hair.

Some can have thyroid problems and have issues coping with day to day activities

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
