Yesterday saw a news and horrified. The girl in the photographs - 19-year-old student from Paris, called Estelle. Just wanted to dye my hair, took the supermarket paint and neglected instruction in which it was stated in black and white that it is possible and necessary to carry out an allergy patch test.
Estelle use the supplied test for allergies. But instead of waiting for the result of the absence of allergy to 48 hours (as stated in the instructions), she held it only for half an hour, then spat on the whole thing, and dyed her hair.
What happened to it - can be seen in the photos above. After she dyed her hair the next morning the upper third of the face start to itch and swell, and head circumference increased by 7 centimeters (56 to 63 cm).
The girl's parents called an ambulance, at the hospital she was given medication and sent home.
The next day - the situation is even sadder. And it concerns not only persons. Estelle was having trouble breathing, quickened heartbeat and swollen tongue. Mom girl drove to another hospital, where she was injected with adrenaline, and doctors monitored her condition throughout the night.
The next day the swelling subsided a little, and gradually improved the state of Estelle. After she recovered, she placed her selfie in facebook to show that such an allergic reaction and why it is no laughing matter.
News you can read about at Estelle French source.
Estelle - a big fellow, and was not afraid to publicly post their photos. Because when the news reached us, it went bad jokes in its address and insults (Well, this is the mentality). But the girl is very clearly shown that it is impossible to ignore tests for allergies. In no case! This is not a joke.
When you read a label or instructions about safety measures - is one thing, sometimes we miss these messages. And when you see the photos, what can happen to a person, you start to carefully re-read paragraphs to precautions and contraindications.
At that Estelle was allergic
Because of para-phenylenediamine in the paint. Yes, it is a strong allergen. The dye can be no such principle in that the pigments are hypoallergenic. PPD very well into the hair and dyes gray hair, and to replace such a pigment less aggressive - a difficult task.
Finally, there is the European Commission's cosmetics acceptable norms paraphenylenediamine.
Frightened! Now I'm afraid of any cosmetics. What to do?
There is no such medical devices, that here so donated blood - and you have given a complete list of everything on that allergy.
Spend cutaneous allergy test, it is in principle a good guarantee that for some means you do not have allergies (or any).
The test is carried out very easily: a little money put on the wrist or the crook of the elbow, not flush into for 2 days (48 hours) and look at the skin - if there are any allergic reactions or not.
If there are (rash, severe redness, peeling, or pain) - do not use such means. If the skin does not have any - can be enjoyed.
Unfortunately, this test does not guarantee that what you do will result in a year use of funds.
From cosmetics at risk - essential oils, homemade cosmetics of own production (Especially herbal tea, read about it at your leisure) and the most dangerous - means a pigment (paint hair).
Be careful and take care of yourself.
