NEW OUTBREAK OF INFECTIONS LINKED TO SALONS VS

INFECTIONS THAT ARE BEING LINKED TO A NUMBER OF SAN JOSE NAIL SALONS ARE MORE WIDESPREAD THAT PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT. SO FAR AT LEAST 30 PEDICURE CUSTOMERS HAVE ALLEGEDLY DEVELOPED SKIN INFECTIONS AFTER SALON VISITS. THE STATE BOARD OF BARBERING AND COSMETOLOGY DEVELOPED A NEW SET OF GUIDELINES AFTER AN OUTBREAK IN SANTA CRUZ COUNTY IN OCTOBER OF 2000. THE IMPROPER DISINFECTION OF WHIRLPOOL FOOTBATHS IS THOUGHT TO BE THE PROBLEM. THE 3 MOST MENTIONED SALONS BY INFECTED CUSTOMERS ARE: SILVER NAILS II ON BLOSSOM HILL ROAD, NAILS NATIONAL ON SNELL AVENUE, AND KATHY NAILS ON THE ALMADEN EXPRESSWAY.
