What Happens to Your Body 10 Hours After You Apply Nail Polish

Even though women constantly use nail polish and are generally unaware of its effects on health, a recent study showed that many of the most popular nail polish brands in America are much more harmful than anyone imagined.

“Nail salon workers pay a huge price in the form of their health. Exposure to nail care products with harmful chemicals can result in a number of health effects, ranging from skin irritations, eye injuries and allergic reactions.

They also have thinking and memory problems, neurological symptoms, nausea, respiratory problems, cancer and uncontrollable muscle contractions to impaired reproductive and development processes.

Research studies have documented acute health effects in these workers. These include headaches, breathing problems, and skin irritations, commonly associated with overexposure to solvents used in these products. “

A recent study found some extremely alarming facts concerning the use of nail polish- it was led by Duke University and the public health advocacy organization Environmental Working Group and showed that we absorb at least one potentially hormone-disrupting chemical every time we get a polish. 

The study involved 24 women, who were tested for signs of chemical toxins, and they found toxic evidence in every single one of them, as a result of the use of nail polish.

All of them showed signs of triphenyl phosphate only 10 hours after applying nail polish.

Afterward, in the follow-up study, the team of researchers tested ten different nail polishes for triphenyl phosphate and found it in eight of them, and two of the polishes that tested positively for the chemical did not include it in the label. This is even more alarming, as we cannot be certain which nail polishes we purchase contain this harmful chemical even though it is not listed as an ingredient.

Triphenyl phosphate (or TPHP) disrupts the endocrine system, which controls all the hormones in the body. According to the head researcher, Dr. Heather Stapleton, “There is growing evidence suggesting that TPHP may affect hormone regulation, metabolism, reproduction, and development.”

This is especially dangerous for young girls who regularly use nail polish, as the healthy hormonal development is a vital part of their growth.

TPHP poses serious health risks to anyone exposed to it since it is an endocrine and reproductive toxin, neurotoxin, allergen, and a skin irritant.

Companies add this chemical to their products to make them less flammable, and in nail polish, it is added with the aim to make it stick more strongly to the nail.

Moreover, nail polish contains other harmful chemicals as well, such as:

Formaldehyde- a known carcinogen that dissolves in air and water, and can cause asthma, a scratchy throat, and difficulty breathing.

Dibutyl Phthalate-- it poses severe health risks such as hormonal disruption and reproductive system issues

Toluene- it impedes the development in children and irritates the skin

Fortunately, some companies are aware of these side-effects of nail polishes and decided to turn to safer, natural alternatives. Here are some of them:

Acquarella- their selection offers 50+ nail polish colors, all of them water-based, and free of formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl phthalate, mercury, or wheat products.

Peacekeeper Cause-Metics -- these bright nail polishes are free of toxins and infused with argan oil, that moisturizes the nails

SpaRitual- their nail polishes are completely vegan and toxin-free

Honeybee Gardens – their nail polishes are water-based, and contain no chemicals or carcinogens, and come in various colors.

It would be easy for all mani-pedi lovers to switch to these health-conscious options and express your style in a fun, inexpensive, and safe way!

The Epilepsy-Autism Link

Until recently, there was only limited clinical research about the connection between autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and epilepsy. But according to the doctors, it is estimated that about 20 to 30 percent of children with ASD will develop epilepsy once they reach adulthood.

Additionally, research finds that adults with epilepsy are more likely to show signs of autism and Asperger's syndrome. In fact, a 2016 study suggests that the two conditions may even have a co-dependent, "bidirectional relationship." Other recent studies even detail how epileptic seizures short-circuit the neurological function in the brain that affects socialization and involves the same traits seen in autism— impairment of normal social interaction (eye contact, conversation, enjoying the act of sharing with someone else) and tightly regimented or repetitive cycles of behavior. This means that in many cases, epileptic adults may not have been properly diagnosed or treated for autism symptoms.

Shedding Light on Socialization Challenges for Epileptics

Epilepsy is a brain disorder marked by recurring seizures or convulsions. Autism is a neuro-behavioral disease that includes impairment in social interaction and language development which often includes rigid, systematic repetitive behaviors. Both conditions can affect patients with varying degrees of severity.

Up to now, the social and behavioral challengers for some people with epilepsy have been under-diagnosed, and research has not uncovered any underlying theory to explain them. Without diagnosis, there is no treatment plan. And not surprisingly, the more frequent the epileptic seizures, the more severely impacted the patient’s socialization may be.

But the research evidence suggesting that the misfiring of the brain during a seizure may explain the socialization issues, brings a vast set of opportunities for adults with both conditions. It could mean that adults with epilepsy can now benefit from the wide range of autism treatment services available to address the socialization issues many epileptic patients have experienced throughout their lives. This offers the possibility of significantly improving epileptics' overall quality of life. Up to this point, there have been few services to address these needs.

Recognizing Symptoms of Epilepsy in Infants

The highest incidence of epilepsy occurs during the first year of life, when many new parents can overlook or misinterpret physical symptoms. Each year, 150,000 people in the United States will have a newly occurring single seizure, that's 48 for every 100,000 people according to the doctors. During early childhood development, infants often exhibit a variety of erratic physical movements and mannerisms which may not cause immediate concern. But babies or children presenting any of these symptoms should be seen by a doctor immediately:

• A prolonged staring spell
• Uncontrollable jerking movements of the arms and legs
• Lack of response or awareness to verbal stimulation
• Shaking, loss of balance or smacking of the lips

Specialty Care for Children With Epilepsy

If you suspect your child may have experienced a seizure, contact your pediatrician immediately for an evaluation. While seizures are frightening for parents and caregivers, it is important to observe and record the duration of the episode as well as the symptoms the child exhibited before and after the episode. Be sure to share this valuable information with your doctor. Keep in mind, some hospitals offer specialized epilepsy treatment programs exclusively for pediatric patients.
