Handling HOLI WOES





Busy making some wild plans to smear and drench your friends with vibrant colours this Holi? Be careful. The fun can cause unwanted skin disor- ders so just follow some safe- ty tips for a safe and colour- ful Holi this year.
Colour hazards Black: It might contain lead oxide leading to health problems like renal failure and learning disability.Green: It might contain copper sulphate and can cause problems like eye al- lergy and temporary blind- ness.
Purple: It might contain chromium iodide leading to health problems like bronchial asthma and allergies.
Silver: It might contain aluminium bromide, which is carcinogenic.
Red: It might contain mer- cury sulphite, which can lead to skin cancer, mental retardation, paralysis and impaired vision.
Blue: It might contain Prussian blue, which can cause contract dermatitis.
Things to remember · Before going to play, ap- ply either castor oil or olive oil on the hair. The oil will form a layer over the hair and when you wash your hair, the colours will come off easily.
· Apply moisturiser on your hands, face and all.
