After this, you may stop with this nasty habit: The father of two children died of sepsis after he bit his nails.

Snoring is a common habit among people, but in fact, it's a very bad habit in terms of health

Hand is the primary vector for pathogens that attack the human body. In a Good Housekeeping article, snoring of nails cost almost one man's life. As he nailed his nails, Luke Hanoman opened a small wound on one finger. This little wound has grown into a deadly sepsis. The 28-year-old father of two children said he bite his nails whenever he felt nervous. Back in July 2017, he scratched his skin near his nails harder than usual. Although the wound was small, she quickly threw her out of thought, thinking that it was nothing.

It turned out to be a mistake. As he was passing through the week, he could not concentrate. He began to obliterate the cold sweat and began to tremble uncontrollably. After that, his wounded finger was turned on. Nevertheless, Hanoman neglected the problem as a viral infection, nothing that a good night's sleep could not solve. After that he slept all night, all morning after, and two o'clock in the afternoon. His mother found him in a fever and covered with ominous red lines.

According to the State Institute of Health, Hanoman's mother was told to bring her son to the nearest medical center under his son's emergency. For the next four days, Hanoman was imprisoned at the hospital. Almost a year after his encounter with death, Hanoman recovered completely. He now shares his experience with everyone who wants to listen.

"They told me I'm lucky that it took so long. I was close to septic shock, "he said in an interview with the British The Sun

Sepsis is your immune system that accidentally shoots you in the foot
Sepsis is a dangerous complication that results when the immune system strives to suppress a serious infection. Normally, the immune response to the infection involves the release of chemicals into the bloodstream. However, this immune response may trigger inflammation of the entire body. Healthy tissues can then be strongly swollen, and inflamed organs can stop functioning. If left untreated, sepsis will turn into septic shock, which can result in death.

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said there were more than 1.5 million sepsis cases in the US each year. About one in every six of these sick Americans lose their lives. Everyone can get sepsis, although elderly people and people with a weak immune system are particularly sensitive. "I had no idea what a sepsis and I had no idea about the symptoms to look out for," said Hanoman, who is now a motivational speaker. "There must be much more awareness about it."

Signs of sepsis include breathing problems, cold skin, disorientation, rapid breathing and heartbeats, and pain in the abdomen. So stop biting nails, because this is not good for you, and it is also a very nasty habit.
