As the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. As the competitive pressure in modern society increases, more and more people have learned about and fallen in love with foot massage. Some people even claim that foot massage can treat hepatitis B.

However, relevant experts do not think so, and even remind everyone: When doing pedicure, you must prevent hepatitis B infection.

This statement does not make sense. Hepatitis B treatment must be antiviral treatment, which requires continuous suppression of viral replication through drugs. When getting a pedicure, if the foot massage place does not thoroughly disinfect the pedicure knives or nail clippers, consumers may unknowingly share a set of knives or nail clippers with hepatitis B patients, which may lead to the spread of hepatitis B virus. A survey has shown that sharing razors, shaving or pedicure at a barber shop, and having a history of oral or endoscopic treatment can easily lead to cross-infection of hepatitis B.

Generally speaking, pedicure is relatively safe, but it should be noted that if you want to find one, it is best to go to a formal place. There are some informal pedicure places, because of poor hygiene conditions, it is easy to have cross infection, so don't be greedy for cheapness. Pedicure has great benefits for the human body, as long as you go to a formal place, it is generally safer.
