Long Fingernails

[rowanwitch]

Just a thought but all those sporting long and complex. manicures.....
You can't wash your hands properly. Why do you think nurses have short nails, and food handlers should. Even flaking nail polish can trap bacteria.
Is this the end of the talon......

I'm not keen on long finger nails and would not get false ones but those that have them should invest in a nail brush

I always keep my nails short, I think really long ones are awful.

Much easier to clean them when they are short.

do midwives still have one in case tongue-tied babies need it?

[Apc2604]

They look so unnattractive and then blinging them up with so called nail art enhances their nastiness and yet the amount of nail bars still rises. Even worse on older hands.

[Apc2604]

Jno- the thought makes me feel physically sick. Eeeeek

[rowanwitch]

I think that might be a myth, a scrubbing brush is unlikely to get right behind long nails

My mum told me her waters were broken - while giving birth to me - by a midwife’s long nails.

Sorry.

[Apc2604]

Eeek again!

[jno]

it needs to be done somehow, Apc; but I don't know if this is still the way it's done.

I hadn't heard of inducement by fingernail, though.

Me fingernails and toe nails I keep so short people think I bite them. As if...
