Long nails in women like many. It is believed that this is sexy. But there is one significant remark.

According to a study conducted by infectious disease doctors, nails longer than 3 centimeters five times more often than short nails are carriers of pathogens that cause staphylococcal infection and fungal diseases.

You can choose the length of your nails yourself, but if these are still long nails, especially carefully observe the rules of hygiene: wash your hands and brush your nails after visiting public toilets, trips in public transport, visiting saunas and other public institutions. It's good to have always an alcohol-based gel for disinfecting your hands.

Note: Artificial nails are even more dangerous in terms of hygiene.
