1. Drinking out of plastic
bottles
Microplastics can be found in a large number of plastic bottles. These
microplastics are threatening to human health. These components found in
plastic bottles can decrease fertility, increase body fat, have a
negative impact on the nervous and immune systems, affect male genital
development, encourage childhood obesity, and increase the chances of
developing cardiovascular disease. These bottles are even more harmful
to children. |

2. Using dry cleaned clothes
Dry cleaning is a chemical process. A lot of dangerous chemicals are
used when dry cleaning clothes and some can stick to the fabric. When
inhaling these chemicals, there’s a chance you could get respiratory and
eye irritations, headaches, dizziness, and vision problems.

3. Holding sneezes
You should never hold a sneeze. If you hold it, there’s a chance you
could rupture your eardrum with the air that sneezing sends to your
ears. Controlling your sneezes may also cause your blood vessels in your
eyes, nose, and eardrums to squeeze and burst.

4. Using perfumes full of chemicals
A lot of perfumes are full of toxic ingredients that companies keep
secret. These ingredients come from petroleum and can cause respiratory
and hormone problems, nausea, and vomiting. In the worst case scenario,
people can even suffer from perfume poisoning or cancer.

5. Popping pimples
First of all, popping pimples can make them worse and even cause scars
so it’s not really helpful. There’s an area of the face known as the
“triangle of death” which has a direct link to the brain and if you
cause an infection there by trying to squeeze out pimples, it could
easily reach the nervous system and cause complications with vision,
paralysis, meningitis and in the worst cases, death. If you ever feel
like popping a pimple, just play with a wrist band instead and the
desire will disappear.

6. Using cosmetics with synthetic components
It’s important to know if the makeup you’re using contains synthetic
components that can be very harmful to you. These components can be
accumulated in your body over time and cause skin irritation and even
cancer.

7. Not changing your pillow
Every night while you sleep, your pillow absorbs skin, hair, and body
oil. This can attract dust mites to grow in your pillow which can cause
really bad allergies.

8. Plucking nose hairs
Plucking the hairs from your nose can cause irritation and inflammation
of the skin. If you remove the hairs, you will also make your immune
system weaker and it can possibly lead to meningitis and other brain
infections.
