in what way can wax be harmful?

Sagot :

Wax can be harmful in many ways. For example, over the counter wax preparations to remove hair can be dangerous if used properly. It may cause burns to sensitive skin. As a result of skin opening, infections may happen.  Apart from this, wax can literally burn, so it may be one way for a house to burn down if used improperly.

Apart from those above, when a child swallows a piece of wax, it can be poisonous. Bring the child to a hospital right away and bring a sample of the wax so that doctors can act accordingly. In some cases, a piece of wax could lodge in the throat which may affect breathing. This is potentially fatal so be careful when moving the child.  

Also, wax that is intended for external use should not be used internally, as above, it can cause poisoning. Allergies can also be triggered by the other chemicals that are in the wax.  

Waxing to remove hair is common nowadays, but if you are not familiar with how it works, it is better to let a professional handle it. There are spas and clinics that perform hair removal through waxing.

Inhaling wax, on the other hand, can cause serious respiratory issues. For wax to be inhaled, it has to be heated first, meaning, it can burn the nasal passages and even the lungs. When the aerosols harden inside the lungs, it would cause respiratory distress and of course, difficulty in breathing.
