The doctor called the gel polish dangerous for diabetics and asthmatics

April 16, 2023

Family doctor Tatyana Zakharova considers gel polish dangerous for asthmatics and diabetics, and claims that its use threatens severe allergies.

According to the doctor, many do not know about the negative properties of gel polish. People buy DIY kits or go to a salon and then develop allergies. Everything revolves around the substance “methacrylate”. Sometimes it does not dry enough under the influence of an ultraviolet lamp. Vapors from this component may make breathing difficult. This is especially dangerous for asthmatics.

The use of methacrylate is also undesirable for diabetics. The substance is often used in insulin pumps and glucose sensors. Hypersensitivity may develop.

An allergy to methacrylate has also been reported, which causes hip stents to loosen – writing MedicForum.
