Tattoo Flu
In an interesting study, the researchers at done at the federal center for disease prevention and cure have found out that in the years to come Tattoo Flu medically known as Hepatitis C is going to cause more deaths than AIDS in USA. Now this may sound like one of those far-fetched, hyper-imaginative ideas which have nothing to do with reality but the statistics do not lie! If you trust numbers then have a look at this- since the last 12 years when this disease surfaced nearly four million American people of the age group 21-39 have become the victims of this disease. Hepatitis C has surely emerged as a fatal disease with severe consequences if not tackled properly.
But the good news is here too! After years of undaunted toil and turmoil, medical scientists in Germany have developed a drug named INFERON ALFA 2B which is capable of wiping all traces of the virus if it is prescribed within 2-3 months of getting affected. This path breaking success, which has been recently published in many leading medical and scientific journals will surely have a telling imprint. The 44 patients of Hepatitis C who were in their earlier stages of disease were administered with this drug. To the greater satisfaction of the team, all of them showed definite signs of considerable improvement.
That said, one must not take this drug for granted and stop worrying over the hygiene implications of tattooing. Hepatitis C is a deadly disease which is the result of the use of contaminated tools and the negligence of personal hygiene during the tattooing process. The mass popularity that tattooing has gained has taken the young lots of society by storm. The result is that we find that people who are already battling with communicable diseases like Hepatitis B and AIDS can not restrict their temptation for tattooing. The probability of such persons becoming vulnerable to Tattoo Flu is 10 times higher than those of healthy people. The time has ripened enough when we take notice of such alarming hygienic conditions and create a general awareness among the people. Unless and until we won’t rise up to the task, the threat of such diseases will keep lurking for no matter how many quinine they make, you will always find someone battling with malaria around you.
