You know.... not vaccinating your child or yourself doesn’t make you an anti vaxxer. Being well informed on any medical procedure and deciding if it’s right or wrong for you and your family is a privilege called medical freedom that we are lucky to still have here. I know your comment was meant to be funny but as someone with very personal vaccine injury experience that was so hard to have validated because of this wild idea that every dr thinks every shot is safe and effective turned my life upside down. It’s just not kosher to say that stuff. Just as you wouldn’t bash someone’s pronouns or choice to get an abortion lets keep our medical choices out of the line of fire too.

You never wanna lie in business. Then no one will trust you again. Just be honest and say you are not comfortable and that the fungus needs to be treated medically. Come back when it's all cleared up.

[@brittwoody4030]

I've been a nail tech for 5 years and the 1st year I was working this lady had brought her mom in. She said in a couple months she was gonna be turning 100. Her skin was literally like scales and purple and the smell was so bad I wanted to throw up, her toenails were so long. When I was working on her pinky toes I noticed they moved kinda weird, farther into the pedi her daughter tells me that when her mom was younger that she had broken her pinky toes so the doctors just went and took the bones out.

[@AAIVE]

this went somewhere that i can’t un-read

[@shannarafryer3111]

[@lacid1334]

Omg I had an elderly man who's son treated him to a pedi and he must've went through something Similar as far as having his bones removed... It was his 3rd toe and I didnt notice until I lifted his foot straight up and out to scrub his heels... his toe was just flopping around like a wet noodle and I was trying so hard to keep my composure. I asked no questions, just tried to hurry up and finish but it honestly made me gag🤢

[@shelbyheinlen2914]

My mom is a nail technician and I hated the first story because when someone has a fungus like that, legally you cannot perform your service on that person without them seeking medical treatment, then recovering and then they can return to you. You have to refuse your service to them and it really bothers me that she didn’t especially for that long. Even if the client refuses to get treatment for it, you still have to refuse performing your service on them simply for sanitary reasons.

When I was in cosmetology school I had to take care of a client that booked a pedicure. I got my station ready and when she sits down I take a look at her feet & they were so crusty I COULD NOT. She tells me “I really need you to scrub all these calluses off & I would prefer no gloves” I apologized and told her that I couldn’t do that due to sanitation reasons and even brought over my instructor to explain it to her. She then was upset & took one of my tools away from me saying “Here give me that!” she started scrubbing her own feet, mind you this was right before I was going on my lunch break 😖

One time when me and my mom went to get our nails done, I sat next to a girl that was getting a gorgeous holo design. It took the nail tech a long time, the girl was there before me and our techs finished almost at the same time (I got really simple nails, just acrylic with color). I paid and went to get some food while they finished my mom's nails. While I was buying I saw the girl and a guy playing air hockey. I went back to meet my mom. Just as she was paying the girl entered the salon screaming and crying So I thought her acrylics broke or something but it was more than that. She basically broke three of her acrylic nails but somehow one of them ripped a part of her actual nail and she was bleeding. I don't know what happened because we left, last thing I remember was hearing her cry out from the pain and the guy just sitting in the bench outside waiting for her.

[@ashleyhappenstotravel]

20 years ago when I was working at a pool I contracted toenail fungus in 3 of my toenails. I went to a podiatrist and he told me basically there was nothing they could do other than permanently remove all of the nails. I said no thanks and basically just keep them painted all of the time. Over the years, two of them have cured themselves and I only have fungus in the one. It’s yellow and thick and underneath is flaky, but it’s never turned any other colors. I recently went back to a podiatrist after watching the Toe Bro and they offered a topical, which has a low success rate, or an oral medication. The oral can damage your liver and they won’t prescribe it if you have liver damage. Turns out I have a condition which makes my liver susceptible to damage and such so I am not a candidate. I am also trying to do everything I can to ensure my lifestyle choices don’t cause further damage. My nail tech sanitizes all of her tools between clients and also asks them all to bring their own nail files. Nail polish alone is not likely to spread an infection. First of all, the chemicals that make up polish can damage fungi and possibly kill it. A bottle of nail polish is not an environment that is conducive to the growth of fungi. If a person with a fungal nail infection used the polish, it isn’t likely that the next person in line would pick up the fungus. Just to be safe to others, I often bring my own.

[@haileydeokie9359]

[@elindiamond1382]

about the first thing with the foot fungus, it's pretty weird that lady went to a salon to get a mani like that, like i wouldnt dare ever thats really gross... but i cant blame her about not taking the pills cause idk what you have there in the US but here the pills are really potentially hazardous to the liver and all the while you take it you need to have blood tests all the time to make sure everything's okay, so the risk isnt really worth the cosmetic problem which is the fungus... personally i took the pill for a while and it cleared up, but after a couple months after i was done with the treatment the fungus just started coming back, so i definitely won't be taking that risk again if the results arent permanent, while the damage very well could be.
