Raising animals is fun, you could almost have a friend or a "playmate" in the house. But you should immediately stop the habit of sniffing, or even let the face and body licked by your beloved pet, right? Dangerous! You can be exposed to malignant disease, stomach cancer, you know!
In a conference, Helicobacter Conference that was held in June 2015 and then, there was a study done by Professor Asahiko Nakamura and his team from the pharmacy section Kitasato University, Tokyo, Japan. In the study, noted that contact with body fluids of pet, whether it smelt or simply cleaning their droppings can significantly increase the risk of stomach cancer
this is because in the animal body fluids are heilmanni Helicobacter bacteria that can cause cancer, MALT lymphoma. A type of cancer that can arise in cells in the mucosal tissue in the body play a role in the process of antibody production.
Well, these bacteria can be extremely dangerous, even transmitted through the saliva of an animal can, kecing water, dirt, even when you're just being around these objects within a certain time in a closed room.
Still according to Nakamura, 60 percent of patients with MALT lymphoma is positive due to the transmission of this bacterium Helicobacter heilmanni. A previous study ever conducted of German scientists also revealed that 70 percent of people diagnosed with the disease had previously been in contact physically with pet animals.
For that, try to avoid activities that risk associated with bacteria makes this heilmanni Kelicobacter. One way is to not licked or kissed by animals, did not smell of animals in the area around their mouths, and do not forget to wear gloves when it should remove any dirt or former animal pee.
Must love animals anyway, even mandatory, just try to pay attention to things that can harm your health too huh?
