1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,920 Speaker 1: Brought to you by the reinvented two thousand twelve camera. 2 00:00:03,240 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: It's ready. Are you welcome to stuff Mom Never told you? 3 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:18,040 Speaker 1: From housetop works dot com. Hey, and welcome to the podcast. 4 00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:21,799 Speaker 1: I'm Kristen. Hi'm Molly, So Molly. Whenever we talk about 5 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: certain girly topics like panty hose and high heels and lipstick, 6 00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 1: I feel like if you accumulate all of the details 7 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 1: that I that I tossed out about, you know, not 8 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:39,880 Speaker 1: liking pantyhose and do you like tightsounds different, abstaining from lipstick, uh, 9 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 1: preferring flats over heels. And now we're gonna talk about 10 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:45,760 Speaker 1: nail salons, and I will now share that I really 11 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 1: don't like to have my fingernails fanded. I'd probably sound 12 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:53,199 Speaker 1: like quite a a dowdy dowdy Debbie just making that up. No, 13 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: it was cute. Please, Jane. This is actually one of 14 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,000 Speaker 1: the beauty things that we're ever going to talk about 15 00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: that I have some experience with, because I really do 16 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: like going to the slogging a manicure, getting a petcure. 17 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 1: I'll do it that often. I do like pedicures. Yeah, 18 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: I'm fine, I'm fine. With having my toenails panting. But 19 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 1: for some reason, whenever someone paints or I paint my fingernails, 20 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,479 Speaker 1: it makes my hands look weird. I don't know why. 21 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: I do remember one time my brother just got married 22 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 1: and so I had a manicure for the wedding and 23 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: then like um, like the day after something, I had 24 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: a job interview and I normally don't have my fingernails 25 00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,520 Speaker 1: pant it. Normally, I'm just a toenail girl. Remember when 26 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:30,200 Speaker 1: I was, you know, talking in this interview and gesturing, 27 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 1: I kept looking at my hands and being like, they're 28 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,600 Speaker 1: gonna think I'm some different person than the person. I am. Right, 29 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: I'm not a fingernail girl. I'm not a nail painter. 30 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 1: But then when you take off my socks, I'm like 31 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: a whole different person. Look at a feet. I do 32 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,320 Speaker 1: like a good pedicure. I just like watching the people 33 00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: paint your tonails because they do it so fast. I 34 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: like it when they scrape off all the hard and 35 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: dead skin on my heels. Oh yeah. They always judge 36 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 1: me for how much hard and dead skot and I have. 37 00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: I feel bad for putting someone through that. But we're 38 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: getting off topic. We are getting off topic, but one thing, Molly, 39 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: that we might need to be careful of when they 40 00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: are scraping dead skin off of our feet. Uh death. Yes, 41 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,079 Speaker 1: I did not realize until we started doing research that 42 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:16,760 Speaker 1: salons are dangerous places and nail lucky nail salons. I mean, 43 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,519 Speaker 1: we'll get to hair salons later. Surely it's gonna be 44 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 1: dangerous hidden there. Um, but every time you walk out 45 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: of salon, you're lucky to be alive, right, I mean 46 00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 1: I don't want to name names. Yeah, so let's let's 47 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: get right down to brass tags, Molly. Our nail salons 48 00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: killing us all us all? Now that's the key word, 49 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: because I think what we're gonna find out is that 50 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:38,839 Speaker 1: only a very select few of us hurt risk. There's 51 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 1: no if, there's no need to really worry. Yeah, let's 52 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:43,680 Speaker 1: just start with the basis unless you want to fearmonger. 53 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 1: Do you want to fear monger? Kristen, Absolutely all the time. 54 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: So let's take this step by step, Molly, the best 55 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 1: way to take it. Yes, let's say you or I 56 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,200 Speaker 1: or both of us together decide to just go for 57 00:02:56,240 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 1: a girl's day out and get our nails. Did the 58 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: chance of that happening seems so unlikely, Okay, but we do. 59 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: First off, what we should do is we should probably 60 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: talk to like a trusted friend to get a good 61 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: recommendation of a salam because they are everywhere, and you 62 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 1: want to make sure you get to a good one, right, 63 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 1: and by good we mean licensed. Right if you don't 64 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: have any friends who know about nail salons, that if 65 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: you just don't have any friends. Yeah, I don't want 66 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 1: to make that sound sad, but not everyone has a 67 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: great nail salon to recommend. Look for all your licenses 68 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,679 Speaker 1: or check your local health department website which will have 69 00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,680 Speaker 1: a list of the licensed places, right, because you actually 70 00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 1: have to go through six hours of super supervised practice 71 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: in order to get a nail salon license. And you know, 72 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna let someone touch my hand unless they 73 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: have six hours of practicing it, right, because actually I 74 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: probably would. Because Okay, so we find our licensed nail salon, 75 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,119 Speaker 1: We go in, we pick out our color. What color 76 00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: would you pick? WHA you're getting ahead of it. You 77 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,880 Speaker 1: can't even pick out your color until you know if 78 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: you're gonna keep your real nails or get some fake nails. 79 00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: Let's get fake nails out of the way, all right, Molly. 80 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 1: One thing I did not realize was that acrylic nails, 81 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:08,800 Speaker 1: while they really aren't all that dangerous, are nevertheless highly flammable. 82 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: So ladies keep this in my end. Guys, to keep 83 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 1: this in mind if you want to go fake that 84 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: you should stay away from things like hair straighteners, curling irons, stoves, 85 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: open flames, because your your nails could just burst into 86 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: flames now here. That's that's the good thing to point out. 87 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 1: You can always use this as an excuse as to 88 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: why you can't do any cooking because you have a 89 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: cylic nail. But you know, another problem that I bet 90 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: is a little more common is that if you um 91 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 1: bump your nails, your curlic nails, and they separate from 92 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: your natural nail, there's like a little bit of space 93 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:44,040 Speaker 1: and you know, I can get down in there fungus, Oh, 94 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 1: fungus and bacteria. That's what I call a double whammy. 95 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 1: In addition, if your immune system is compromised for some reason, 96 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: um perhaps because of say chemotherapy or something like that, 97 00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,680 Speaker 1: or you have a history of fungal infections or poor 98 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,840 Speaker 1: blood circulation, you're also at a higher risk of developing 99 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 1: an infection, and you might want to say no to 100 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: the fake nails. Right, Okay, so let's say that we 101 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: have said no to the fake nails. Have read the 102 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 1: article on the site how so far dot Com are 103 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: acrylic nails back from my health, which includes all those 104 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: reasons we just listed, right. I mean, they're not that 105 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: that it's not likely to have them, but you gonna 106 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: know what I mean, we're going with the fearmongering route, Kristin. 107 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: We're gonna say no, no fake nails for us. We've 108 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,599 Speaker 1: decided to get the real ones. Yes, and so that 109 00:05:27,760 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: is when we shall pick our color. What color are 110 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,720 Speaker 1: you going to pick? Molly? I'm gonna pick a deep 111 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: passionate red that has a slightly inappropriate name. I'm just 112 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: gonna go with black because you're so maybe because I'm 113 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,760 Speaker 1: very mysterious. Okay, Now what shape are you gonna get 114 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: them in, Kristen? Well, round it is the most popular, 115 00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: and I also like to do what's the most popular, 116 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: generally speaking in life, so I think I'll probably get rounded. 117 00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: But I want to point out that you'll avoid hangnails 118 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,680 Speaker 1: and ingrown nails by not filing the corners. So I 119 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: might go squared. Okay, all right, I'll take rounded, you 120 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 1: take squared. We don't have to do everything to say Molly, 121 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:09,240 Speaker 1: I think we should. Okay, so we've picked out of collars, 122 00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 1: then you pick your shape, and then you get to 123 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,679 Speaker 1: put your hands in a bowl of warm, soapy water. 124 00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: And it's not just because you fell asleep first at 125 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,840 Speaker 1: the slumber party and they're trying to get you to 126 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 1: pee in your sleeping bag, not that that ever happened 127 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 1: to me. So they're softening your nails on this ball. 128 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 1: They're cleaning off all the bacteria and uh, it's essential 129 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: steps so that then they can get in there and 130 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,679 Speaker 1: do their work. Now, since we're going the fearmongering route 131 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: and are highlighting all the things that could harm us 132 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,039 Speaker 1: with nail salons, I think we do. At this point, 133 00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: I have to point out something important about cuticles. If 134 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: you are nervous about catching some kind of bacterial or 135 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,200 Speaker 1: fungal infection at the nail salon, then you want to 136 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:53,280 Speaker 1: skip the cuticle pushing and clipping, because when the cuticles 137 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:54,800 Speaker 1: separate from your nail bed, kind of like what you 138 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 1: were talking about with the bumping with the acrylic nails, 139 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,000 Speaker 1: those are the little spaces where where the bad stuff 140 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: can get in. Yeah, and there are a lot of 141 00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,840 Speaker 1: organizations that say that just even if the manicurist wants 142 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: to do it, even if you want to do it, 143 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: just leave your cuticles alone. Yeah, and if you're really paranoid, 144 00:07:09,600 --> 00:07:11,720 Speaker 1: just bring your own equipment. Not that would probably be 145 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: annoying or anything for people working at the salon, but 146 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: you know, Christen, this article how manicurest Work says that 147 00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,680 Speaker 1: people who work a nail salans are totally used to 148 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: having people bring their own equipment. The best things you 149 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,560 Speaker 1: can do. Obviously, I don't get my nails done enough 150 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,680 Speaker 1: because I should probably know something like that. But one 151 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: thing though, so we can't just ignore the feet though. Okay, 152 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,880 Speaker 1: so we've gotten our we're getting our nails worked on 153 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: at the same time, our feet are in those relaxing 154 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 1: whirlpools and we're sitting in the massage chair. But those 155 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:45,920 Speaker 1: whirlpool footbaths can also cause serious infection with a typical 156 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 1: micro bacteria molly, and the microbes can invade through any 157 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 1: shaving nick scratch on your skin. So when they're doing 158 00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: appealing off like the three inches of dead skin, that's 159 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: accumulated on my feet over wearing sandals, dear the summer. 160 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: If they accidentally cut my feet, even just a little bit, 161 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: some bacteria from that world pool to get in. Now, 162 00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 1: sometimes cutting that desk in off the foot, depending on 163 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 1: the tool yearsing is illegal because you really can get cut. 164 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: And you know, if using a razor on your foot 165 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,600 Speaker 1: sort of considered surgery, okay, So some places they'll just 166 00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 1: completely rule it out. But I think you need to 167 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: talk if we're gonna fear monger, we've got to talk 168 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,960 Speaker 1: more about these whirlpools because they are full of the 169 00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: said of this bacteria. So if you are going to 170 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: put your foot in a whirlpool, I've read a few things, 171 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: but what we can do to make it safer have 172 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,040 Speaker 1: them wine the tub with a plastic bag so that 173 00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 1: the bacteria that's in the screen doesn't necessarily get into 174 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 1: the water. That doesn't sound like a ton of fun 175 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 1: to me, But find out about their their filtration system 176 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:45,959 Speaker 1: and how often they clean it, and basically they should 177 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:49,080 Speaker 1: be cleaning it out after every customer using a solution 178 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: that stays in there for about fifteen minutes, so you know, 179 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: just don't put your It's good advice for anything, not 180 00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:56,800 Speaker 1: just the nail salum, but don't put your foot in 181 00:08:56,800 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: anything that you haven't really inspected closely, right, because the 182 00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: number one most common infection acquired in a nail salon 183 00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,319 Speaker 1: are warts and awards probably not gonna look too nice 184 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: alongside your your shining new nails. And that's called caused 185 00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 1: by human papaloma virus. Yeah, and nail fungus. But basically 186 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 1: that's you gotta watch the whirlpool. And the reason you 187 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 1: would want to bring your own tools, which Kristen was 188 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: pooh pooing, but I am all in favor of, is 189 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,839 Speaker 1: because let's say that the person in front of you 190 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 1: comes in with a little human papal amma virus gets 191 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,439 Speaker 1: on the tool. The tool is not sterilized. It's getting 192 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 1: on you, particularly if you've got an open sore. So 193 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,400 Speaker 1: if you go in and you've got a shave, don't 194 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,320 Speaker 1: look at me like this, Christen. Is true open sores. 195 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: Like let's say you are getting a pedicure and you 196 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,440 Speaker 1: shave your legs and you nick yourself. That's what I 197 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,800 Speaker 1: mean by so you refer to as an open sore 198 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: open wound? Is that better? Okay, I'll take wound gushing wounds, Yes, 199 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,240 Speaker 1: if you have a gushing open wound, but it doesn't 200 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: have to be that gushing like that's what you were saying. 201 00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: With the cuticles, if you push your cuticle back and 202 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 1: you get you know, maybe a little nick there entry point. Yes, 203 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 1: Molly is also the health ride of our house at 204 00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,000 Speaker 1: first dot com, as you might be able to tell. 205 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:12,239 Speaker 1: So we've somehow survived infection. We've picked out our color. 206 00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: I'm getting the rounded, you're getting the square, but no craolic, 207 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 1: thank you. So then I'm skipping the cuticle pushing and 208 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,559 Speaker 1: we're skipping the cuticle pushing. This is one thing that 209 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,080 Speaker 1: always gets me tipping. How much do you tip? You 210 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,079 Speaker 1: know what? We have articles on our site. One is 211 00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: called how Manicures Work, and one is called how Pedicures Work. 212 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: And these were articles we're reading for this website, and 213 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:37,560 Speaker 1: I found this interesting. How Manicures Work recommends tipping minimum 214 00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: up to fifty and then pedicure is just says percent, okay, 215 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,839 Speaker 1: so least fifteen. I guess if your BFFs with your 216 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 1: nail technician, then go up to fifty. But speaking of 217 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: nail technicians, Molly, the real, the real, people we should 218 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,040 Speaker 1: be talking about in this story are them. Yeah, you know, 219 00:10:58,080 --> 00:10:59,840 Speaker 1: we're having kind of a lot of fun being fair 220 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 1: longers and saying that your manicare will kill you. But 221 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 1: by and large it's not going to as long as 222 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,760 Speaker 1: you're careful with the things about like the open sores. 223 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: But by open sotore, I just mean like even a 224 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,800 Speaker 1: tiny cut. As long as you're careful what the whorldpool, 225 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: chances are you're gonna escape most of the bacteria that's 226 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: in the nail salon. However, However, the people that we 227 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: need to be worried about, as Kristen said, our nail 228 00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: salon workers. And I know this because I wrote an 229 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,520 Speaker 1: article called do nail salon workers have a higher incidence 230 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 1: of cancer? I mean when I saw that title, I 231 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:32,600 Speaker 1: was like, holy crap, cancer cancer. Yeah, because nail salon 232 00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 1: professionals have reported common problems such as skin rashes, respiratory problems, headaches, 233 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 1: and reproductive problems such as miscarriage and still birth. Right, 234 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,680 Speaker 1: I was reading an article about how nail technicians woul 235 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: they get pregnant are just scared to death that something 236 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: they're doing might um affect their fetus, right, because they're 237 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: working day in and day out, possibly in poorly ventilated 238 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 1: areas with some pretty toxic chemicals. Right. And you know 239 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,599 Speaker 1: the weird thing about cosmetics is they're kind of weirdly regulated. 240 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 1: They're sort of in a gray area in that under 241 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 1: the FDA, there's this group called the Cosmetic Ingredient Review 242 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 1: which evaluates the safety of ingredients in our cosmetics and 243 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,040 Speaker 1: the United States, but even though they say, like, hey, 244 00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,360 Speaker 1: an ingredients and safe, they have no authority to take 245 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,839 Speaker 1: it out of any product that's used. Yeah, and the 246 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:23,199 Speaker 1: Campaign for Safe Cosmetics estimates the eighty nine percent of 247 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 1: ingredients in personal care products have never been assessed for 248 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:31,320 Speaker 1: safety in the United States. As compared to the European Union, Uh, 249 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: we're far more lax about allowing these chemicals and products. Um. 250 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:40,200 Speaker 1: For instance, in the EU, more than eleven chemicals have 251 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 1: been banned for use in cosmetics because they might cause 252 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: cancer or reproductive problems. But in the US only nine 253 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,319 Speaker 1: such ingredients have been banned. And it wasn't that shocking. 254 00:12:48,400 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: It's very shocking. But the thing is, I'm not saying 255 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: that these ingredients are necessarily dangerous for everyone. If you've 256 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,720 Speaker 1: just got them painted on your nails as long as 257 00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: you're not, you know, looking the nail polish off your fingers, 258 00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 1: which I do. I don't think the nail technition would 259 00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: let you because one time I chipped my nail and 260 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: she got so mad. Anyway, that's a whole another story. Um. 261 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:07,680 Speaker 1: But just because they're safe for us to use to 262 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 1: have on our fingers, what we haven't looked at before, 263 00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,719 Speaker 1: and what these groups are not charged with looking at, 264 00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,680 Speaker 1: is if you inhale these ingredients day in, day out 265 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,760 Speaker 1: in a salon that might not be well ventilated, then 266 00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,439 Speaker 1: it might be a problem. So we don't want to 267 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,640 Speaker 1: say that now, apologies bad for everyone, but if you 268 00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 1: work with it daily, it might be. Yeah, because if 269 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: you think about the different glues that you would have 270 00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:31,520 Speaker 1: to use applying those, the fake nails, the disinfectants, all 271 00:13:31,559 --> 00:13:33,679 Speaker 1: of that stuff. Why don't we call out some of 272 00:13:33,720 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: these chemicals and potential health problems they could cause. And 273 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:41,120 Speaker 1: I will start with benzene and methyl chloride, which have 274 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:45,160 Speaker 1: caused breast tumors and animals exposed to their fumes gross 275 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 1: lean to luin. I'm not trying to even pronounce that. 276 00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:50,600 Speaker 1: But this one's kind of scary because it will disrupt 277 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 1: your entire endocrine system, which means all your hormones are 278 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: going crazy and it could cause dizziness, headaches, and damage 279 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,960 Speaker 1: to deliver and kidneys. Then we have diabutal palate, an 280 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: other intocrindisruptor found in all nail polished that may endanger 281 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 1: reproductive health. And lates are very controversial chemicals that I've 282 00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,079 Speaker 1: had to um write about for how stuff works. And 283 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: I know that Canada and the European Union and slowly 284 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:14,840 Speaker 1: the United States are doing a lot to try to 285 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:17,440 Speaker 1: get daylights out of a lot of these common personal 286 00:14:17,480 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: care products. And then finally, finally, UM, let's highlight something 287 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,280 Speaker 1: you may be familiar with from high school biology class, 288 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:28,400 Speaker 1: formalide hide. This carcinogen has been linked with fatigue, headaches, 289 00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 1: respiratory irritations, and cancer. So bad news bears. Yeah, and um, 290 00:14:34,840 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: they're only starting to look at this kind of recently 291 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:41,800 Speaker 1: right kind of examining these potential health effects. UH. A 292 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:46,080 Speaker 1: group called the California Healthy Nail Salon Collaborative was formed 293 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: in two thousand five, and it's the group it's really 294 00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:51,800 Speaker 1: leading the way on research and outreach to manicurists to 295 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: make sure that these are safe environments for them to 296 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,280 Speaker 1: work in, which I think is really important because it's 297 00:14:57,280 --> 00:15:00,240 Speaker 1: a very fast growing industry. Uh, and we need to 298 00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:02,080 Speaker 1: make sure they're safe, right. But you know what's been 299 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: complicated in the past is the fact that this is 300 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,640 Speaker 1: a very popular job for immigrants, particularly from Asian countries. 301 00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:10,520 Speaker 1: So that's why in California especially you mentioned that this 302 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: group's in California, Asian immigrants make up of the Salon workforce. 303 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,840 Speaker 1: And so what you've got our people who may not 304 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: speak the language very well. I mean we don't. I 305 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:22,080 Speaker 1: mean we speak English, it's our native tongue, and we 306 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 1: still know how to pronounce tollyween to. And they're concerned 307 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: that immigrants won't know what to do if they do 308 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 1: encounter a health problem, how to go about working with 309 00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: the health department to ensure that everything is up to 310 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,080 Speaker 1: code and all of that. So they're really looking into 311 00:15:39,160 --> 00:15:42,600 Speaker 1: this to solve those problems. So right now, what they're 312 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,960 Speaker 1: doing with the Northern California Cancer Center and Asian Health Services, 313 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,280 Speaker 1: they're doing a bunch of studies. Excuse me, they're doing 314 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: a bunch of studies that are actually investigating if these 315 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: health claims that the nail technicians are making are linked 316 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: to their workplace. It could just be other factors. You know, 317 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: let's say someone smoke us at home, then maybe that's 318 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: why they're having respiratory problems. So first they're trying to 319 00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: make that definitive link. Next a're gonna say, is at 320 00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: the workplace that's causing this. So they're having some nail 321 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: technicians UM where air quality sensors so that UM the 322 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,760 Speaker 1: sensor can tell how much ventilation they're getting what they're 323 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:19,680 Speaker 1: actually breathing in. And then they're going to take all 324 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: the results and compare UM this subset of nail technicians 325 00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: to the health records of the general public. And so 326 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: they think that's how they'll be able to make these 327 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,240 Speaker 1: definitive links. We should have results in the next year. 328 00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: I'm pretty interested to see how it's all going to 329 00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 1: shake out. But as you're saying, this is a pretty 330 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: big regulatory gray area just because so many UM oversight 331 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: agencies are involved. We talked earlier about the Cosmicic Ingredient Review, 332 00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,400 Speaker 1: which is under the f d a UM. The FDA 333 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 1: can't ban products UM based on the hazardous work environment 334 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: they create. They can only ban products that are hazards 335 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: the people who are using them and consuming them. So 336 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: just because a person works with them, they can't ban them. 337 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 1: That duty falls the Environmental Protection Agency and the Occupational 338 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:03,080 Speaker 1: Safety and Health Administration, And basically they're the ones who 339 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: can say how long a person can be exposed to 340 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,680 Speaker 1: certain chemicals before it's dangerous to their health. And these 341 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: health concerns are particularly pertinent to women as most nail 342 00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,919 Speaker 1: technicians are women, and a lot of these harmful chemicals 343 00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:21,600 Speaker 1: are fat soluble, and women obviously have more body fat 344 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:25,600 Speaker 1: than men, so they're worried that these chemicals could be 345 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:30,480 Speaker 1: getting into women's bodies, especially in the breast tissue, and 346 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: possibly causing breast cancer. Right because they are showing that 347 00:17:34,840 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 1: these Vietnamese immigrants when they come to the United States, 348 00:17:37,520 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: they have it seems a higher risk of breast cancer. 349 00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: So that's where they're starting to make this link. We 350 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:44,919 Speaker 1: can't say yet that it's a definitive cause and effect 351 00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:47,919 Speaker 1: right now, is just a correlation um and you know, 352 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,160 Speaker 1: there's just a lot of things to work out with this. 353 00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:53,960 Speaker 1: For example, these ocean guidelines they don't take into account 354 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:57,000 Speaker 1: you know, low dose exposure over a long period of time, 355 00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: so there's there's still not enough to say like, yes, 356 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: you're on is killing you. But I do think though, 357 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 1: going back to what we said at the very beginning, 358 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:08,280 Speaker 1: this is yet another reason to seriously check out whether 359 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: or not your nail salon is up to code and 360 00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 1: approved and licensed by by the Health Department, because there's 361 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:16,399 Speaker 1: a better chance that it's going to be a safer 362 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,640 Speaker 1: working environment for the nail technicians. But I mean, you've got, 363 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 1: like got to do your own homework, because when I 364 00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,160 Speaker 1: was researching this article, I think I read that California has, 365 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: you know, in the tens of thousands of nail salons, 366 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:30,280 Speaker 1: they've got like forty health inspectors, so they're not doing 367 00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:33,919 Speaker 1: probably a lot of follow up. So all I can 368 00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: say is buy or beware. Yeah, be a wise consumer. Right, 369 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:41,960 Speaker 1: So I think that concludes our our nail salon fearmongering. 370 00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,040 Speaker 1: We've left the nail salon together, Christen, our nails are painted. 371 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,160 Speaker 1: It looks so good. Now we can't do anything because 372 00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: we'll mess up our Now I will like cook and 373 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: curl my hair. But you know what we can still 374 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: do read our listener mail. Yeah, because all we have 375 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 1: to do is click on the computer. Where it comes in. 376 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 1: Let's click with our giant curling nails. Let's do some 377 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:06,960 Speaker 1: listener mail. Okay, all right, Christmas. Today's listener mail. We're 378 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: gonna talk just once more about female circumcistion one more, um, 379 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,320 Speaker 1: if to bring everyone up to speed. We did as 380 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 1: a show on the topic, received a lot of mail 381 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: from people who were not happy with the way we 382 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,440 Speaker 1: covered it, and then we have people who are now 383 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 1: responding to those people. Um. This is from Lisa. She writes, 384 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 1: I was surprised that you have yet to mention laby 385 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:33,399 Speaker 1: at plasty. This comet cosmetic surgery procedure is becoming increasingly 386 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 1: popular among women in the West and arises because women 387 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,320 Speaker 1: are displeased with the look of their vulva. I found 388 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 1: an article from two thousand six. It does also mention 389 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,879 Speaker 1: that certain women do experience pain from their in large labia. 390 00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: But being a woman's steady student, I in some theorists 391 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,520 Speaker 1: that I've read questioned the role of porn in this 392 00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: growing procedure, especially when seeing some of the aforementioned articles 393 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 1: Lists of reasons given women choosing the procedure. Especially when 394 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 1: seeing some of the aforementioned articles lists of reasons given 395 00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 1: for women choosing the procedures such as um. Women have 396 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: comm in it that their sexual partners have either made 397 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,399 Speaker 1: fun of the patient's labia or felt inhibited to be 398 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,359 Speaker 1: intimate with the patient. Why would any and this is 399 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: Lisa Varrian Gain not equipped from the article, why would 400 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: anyone's sexual partner make fun of the size of the labia. 401 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: That would be like making the fun of the size 402 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,160 Speaker 1: of your sexual partner's pianist size or shape. Either way, 403 00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:19,199 Speaker 1: I find that troubling. I know that the point of 404 00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,639 Speaker 1: this procedure is ultimately not to remove our harm the 405 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: quitterst but it is about changing your sexual organs to 406 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: fit in with society. Also with laby a plastic justice, 407 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 1: with breast augmentation, there's the risk of complications like lack 408 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:33,080 Speaker 1: of sensation at the procedure. But ultimately my point is 409 00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,439 Speaker 1: that this procedure is present is presented as being a 410 00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,959 Speaker 1: woman's choice. Whether it is or not is up for debate, 411 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: and it is happening in North America, but it seems 412 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,159 Speaker 1: no one wants to speak out against this practice in 413 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 1: our own society. So it seemed that in Africa this 414 00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,639 Speaker 1: type of choice is null and void for women but 415 00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,719 Speaker 1: in America, women may do whatever they wish with their bodies. 416 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:52,400 Speaker 1: And when it comes right down to it, doesn't matter 417 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:53,959 Speaker 1: whether a woman is in the middle of an African 418 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 1: forest or on a stainless steel operating table in North 419 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:58,440 Speaker 1: America if she was being told that somehow her body 420 00:20:58,520 --> 00:21:02,680 Speaker 1: is wrong or flawed just because as natural. All right, Well, 421 00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:06,280 Speaker 1: I've got one from Jamie here also about our Female 422 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: Circumcision podcast, and she writes, I have traveled quite a 423 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,040 Speaker 1: bit of the world, and while I'm an American citizen, 424 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,160 Speaker 1: I've lived in Africa for months at a time, working 425 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: in health research, working side by side with women and 426 00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:20,880 Speaker 1: men alike. I've found that you can't impose your American 427 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 1: or Western ideals on the people there or anywhere in 428 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,959 Speaker 1: the world. One of the largest components of our funding 429 00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,199 Speaker 1: is to try and educate about certain health issues that 430 00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,879 Speaker 1: people might have the wrong perception about. Whether or not 431 00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 1: they accept that, though, is their own choice and there's 432 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,040 Speaker 1: no getting no use getting mad or telling them that 433 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:38,240 Speaker 1: they're wrong about it. If a woman is presenting both 434 00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,399 Speaker 1: sides of an argument on any topic, she should be 435 00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:42,760 Speaker 1: allowed to make her own decision about it. If that's 436 00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 1: that is her right on anything she wants to do 437 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:47,840 Speaker 1: to her body. I agree that some women are forced 438 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:49,959 Speaker 1: into some things. We can do our part to try 439 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: and remedy that. But I've also seen women who are 440 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,680 Speaker 1: educated and not forced partaken things that we as Westerners 441 00:21:55,680 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: would think was horrible and barbaric. So thank you, Jamie, 442 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:02,480 Speaker 1: and thanks to everyone who has written in on this 443 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 1: and every other topic we however, we love getting your emails, 444 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: and you can send us one at mom stuff at 445 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: how stuff works dot com.
