Germs in Hair? |
Can germs and virsus live in your hair, like from brushing up against walls with blood on them, etc.? How can you wash hair so that it kills all the bacteria? Can HIV live in hair? In public bathrooms, if your hair touches the toliet by mistake and there is blood on the toliet or anything else, can that blood and anything it carries live in your hair? Will simply washing it kill everything? You can catch hepatitis that way, but HIV is a very weak virus and it dies once it hits the air. Germs can and do live in your hair. You're hair is actually one of the dirtiest parts of your body, however HIV can not survive outside of the blood system Thats a very good question. I wouldn't think it could live and thrive in your hair. Germs can live happily in your hair... your hair brush is a colony of germs... germs are everywhere. The best thing you can do is to wash your hands regularly. yes germs and virsus can live in ur hair. Slong as u wash it u should have no prob. The only way u can get hiv from the head is if u have a cut. Hiv is a deaise that is past by blood. So if u have a open wound yes u can get the virsus. Regarding HIV in blood on a toilet seat, if the blood is dry, the virus will be dead. If it is wet, a chance exists that it could still be active. The risk is very small, but rather be safe. HIV is very short lived on an inanimate surface. In wet fluid, consider infectious. Having said that, the chances of you getting HIV from blood that gets on your hair and does not get on a cut or a mucous membraine are slim to none. Washing your hair daily with soap, being sure to scrub the hair and scalp, and rinsing it well should remove most germs. You have germs all over the inside and out side of you. There are an average of 10X as many bacteria as you have body cells. You could not live without them. Only 1% of these germs are disease causing and they are usually kept under control by the good germs. If you wipe out the good bacteria in your digestive system, you'll have problems until the good bacteria are back. This is what happens when you take penicillin which wipes out the good and bad " bugs ". |
