2 thoughts on “Is gold harmful to human body”

  1. Gold is an important precious metal in our life, although it is also used in industrial products. But what we usually contact with gold is a variety of jewelry. Wearing these things at ordinary times is not only a symbol of wealth, but also can make us look more elegant. It should be noted that gold is harmful to our health, and this situation needs to be understood. So, what is the harm of gold to human body? Now let's learn more about it
    1. Jewelry dermatitis
    some women wear rings and necklaces, causing contact dermatitis on the neck and fingers, skin itching, erythema, peeling, papules, and even asthma or systemic urticaria
    2. Local infection
    when piercing ear holes, tongue holes or nostrils, infection may be caused due to lax local disinfection or improper care after the event. It may also cause damage to organs due to friction and sagging of jewelry, resulting in secondary infection
    3. Cause deformity
    the most common is the ring-shaped deformity of fingers or toes. Some people wear the ring for a long time and do not take it off even when they sleep at night, which will cause local blood supply shortage, cause the hyperplasia of the lower part of the ring or local persistent infection, and finally lead to the deformity of fingers or toes. In some minority areas, because of the heavy silver earrings, the length of the earlobes can reach more than ten centimeters, and some even have large earlobe shoulders
    experts remind everyone that jewelry must be taken off and cleaned frequently. This can not only keep the jewelry as clean as new, but also be very beneficial to the health of the wearer. It should be reminded that there are many taboos in the cleaning of jewelry. If it is not properly cleaned, it will cause damage to the jewelry itself. It is best to ask professional cleaning personnel to maintain it
    proper wearing skills of gold jewelry
    1. Gold jewelry should avoid frequent contact with sweat.
    a major reason for the discoloration or fading of gold jewelry is closely related to the sweat of human body. As we all know, human perspiration is also a process of detoxification. Therefore, human perspiration must contain a small amount of internal wastes and harmful substances, such as chlorinated substances, lactic acid, urea ammonia, etc. when these substances are contacted with silver and copper in gold jewelry, they will undergo chemical reaction to produce silver chloride and copper sulfide, which will appear dark black and affect the luster of gold jewelry. Therefore, when you wear gold jewelry, especially in summer, you should regularly clean the jewelry
    2. The influence of the regional environment can also make the gold jewelry tarnish.
    when the air is dry, there will be more fine dust in the air, which will be absorbed on the human body to form "human body sandpaper". If you were wearing gold jewelry at that time, the "human body sandpaper" can abrade the gold jewelry into very fine debris, which may not be noticed at the beginning, For a long time, local black spots will appear on the surface of jewelry. Therefore, the influence of regional environment can also make the gold jewelry lose luster
    3. Mercury corrodes the surface layer of gold jewelry
    the corroding effect of mercury on the surface layer of gold jewelry is mainly due to a chemical reaction called Bian amalgam when gold meets mercury, forming a new material, gold amalgam. The color of the gold amalgam is yellow and white. It is attached to the gold jewelry, and it feels like the gold jewelry is fading. Now many cosmetics often contain a small amount of lead and mercury. If gold jewelry is often in contact with these substances, it will cause white spots on the surface of jewelry
    4. Collision and heavy blow are major blows to gold jewelry.
    as many people know, the texture of gold jewelry is relatively soft, so casual collision or heavy blow in life is a major blow to anxious jewelry. A slight collision may cause jewelry deformation, but if it is a strong blow, it may even cause gold jewelry to break. Therefore, it is best not to wear gold jewelry when doing housework and strenuous exercise
    you should be clear about the harm of gold to human body. Everyone loves gold, but no one will think of the reason why gold will harm our health. Therefore, people who have the habit of wearing gold should pay attention. It is best not to use these things for a long time to avoid affecting our health.
