Tattoos High Risk Hepatitis C
Columbia - Prisoners and those who are tattooed on his body more at risk of contracting hepatitis C and other diseases through blood, according to a study of University of British Columbia, Canada.
The researchers reviewed and analyzed 124 studies from 30 countries, including Canada, Iran, Italy, Brazil, and the United States. They found the incidence of hepatitis C in some individuals tattooed. The findings are published in the latest edition of the International Journal of Infectious Diseases.
Tattoos have become increasingly popular in recent years. In the U.S., an estimated 36 percent of people under 30 years old have tattoos. In Canada, about eight percent of high school students have at least one tattoo.
"Since tattoo instruments in contact with blood and body fluids, infection can be transmitted if instruments are used on more than one person without sterilized or without proper hygiene techniques," said the study's lead author, Dr. Siavash Jafari.
"In addition, tattoo dyes are not stored in sterile containers and may play a role in transmitting the infection," said Jafari. Therefore, Jafari advised the public to understand the risks associated with tattoos, and tattoo artists need to discuss things that harm the client.
Another risk identified by this research include allergic reactions, HIV, hepatitis B, bacterial or fungal infections, and other risks associated with tattoo removal.
They also recommend that prevention programs that focus on youth - the population most likely to get a tattoo - and the detainees - who face a high prevalence of hepatitis C - to reduce the spread of infectious hepatitis.
Chemicals in tattoo dyes can include house paint, ink, computer printer, or the carbon industry. Toxins in the tattoo ink to enter the kidney, lung, and lymph lympth through the circulatory system.
