In this era of the pursuit of individuality, tattoos, ear piercing has become a common way to express people’s personality, beauty salons, jewelry stores, and even roadside vendors are boasting tattoos, ear piercing. But tattoos, ear piercing, etc. can really be so arbitrary, it brings us beauty at the same time, whether it will also bring us unexpected trouble? Infection after the tattoo should not be ignored! Most tattoo artists do not know medicine, tattoo sterilization is not strict or not at all, when the needle tip pierced into the skin, the destruction of the skin layer of the body’s protection, especially if the bacteria, viral infection, there will be a hepatitis B virus or hepatitis C virus infection. Tattoo, hepatitis B virus is how to infect the body? Hepatitis B, hepatitis C, hepatitis D belongs to the blood-borne diseases, mainly through blood transfusions (or blood products), unsafe injections, not strictly sterilized medical devices and mother-to-child transmission, sexual contact transmission and close contact between children living transmission. The use of unsterile medical devices, invasive procedures and surgeries can also give the hepatitis B virus a chance to “enter” the bloodstream and infect people. In daily life, hepatitis B virus can also be transmitted through broken skin and mucous membranes, such as tattooing, eyebrow tattooing, ear piercing, shaving, pedicure, and sharing razors and toothbrushes with hepatitis B patients. Hepatitis B virus infection is very difficult to cure completely! In the clinic, although there are interferon and nucleoside (acid) class antiviral drugs, as if hepatitis B has become a controllable and treatable disease, the incidence of cirrhosis and the death rate of hepatitis B are significantly reduced, but there is still no drug that can completely remove and destroy the hepatitis B virus to make the hepatitis B virus infection completely cured, why is it difficult to completely cure after infection with the hepatitis B virus? 1, we know that chronic hepatitis B virus infection are infected in infancy, when their own immune system can not identify the hepatitis B virus, and the hepatitis B virus as their “friends”, and the virus “peaceful coexistence” ” This is medically known as “immune tolerance” and is a carrier of the hepatitis B virus. 2.After the hepatitis B virus invades the stem cells, it will form a completely closed loop of double-stranded DNA in the stem cells – ccc
DNA, which forms the template for viral replication, is like a weed deeply “rooted” in the stem cells, as the hepatitis B virus seeds continue to take root and germinate, reproducing viral offspring, so it is difficult to suppress the hepatitis B virus. 3, hepatitis B virus is prone to mutation. Once mutation occurs, the drugs can do nothing to them, and they are allowed to do evil in the stem cells. 4.The current drugs can only inhibit the replication of virus, but not remove the virus, and the virus will replicate again if the patient misses or stops taking the drugs. Written here, we should understand that do not tattoo because of impulse, there will be a lot of health risks behind the beauty. Therefore, tattoos need to be careful, do not pay the price for beauty, bringing unpredictable health problems.
