Infant Lead Poisoning Associated with Use of Tiro, an Eye Cosmetic from Nigeria — Boston, Massachusetts, 2011

Lead is highly toxic and can damage the brain, kidneys, bone marrow, and other body systems; high levels can cause convulsions, coma, and death (1). Young children are especially susceptible to lead exposures because of their floor-hand-mouth activity, greater gut absorption, and developing central nervous systems. In June 2011, a male infant aged 6 months of Nigerian descent was referred to the Pediatric Environmental Health Specialty Unit (PEHSU) at Boston Children's Hospital because of an elevated blood lead level (BLL). An investigation found no lead exposure except for "tiro," a Nigerian cosmetic that also is used as a folk remedy to promote visual development. The tiro applied to the infant's eyelids contained 82.6% lead. Products similar to tiro, such as "surma" and "kajal" in Asia and kohl in the Middle East, also might contain lead. This case adds to the medical literature documenting nonpaint lead sources as causes of elevated BLLs in children (2,3) and highlights persons of certain immigrant populations as a risk group. Educational efforts are needed to inform immigrants from Africa, Asia, and the Middle East that tiro and similar products can cause lead poisoning in children. Health-care providers and public health workers should ask about eye cosmetics and folk remedies when seeking a source of exposure in children with elevated BLLs from certain immigrant populations.

Must u comment?
What has the Igbo done to the yorubas that you don't want to see anything good coming from them?
To my Igbo brodas pls try to take delta when you are going cos I prefer to stay with the Igbos than staying with Aboki and (mr intelligent) yorubas when no get friend o

You should be asking what has the Yorubas done to Igbos to warrant hate every time. There are millions of Igbo in the entire south west but you won't find 1% of that of Yorubas in the NE. That tells you the hospitality of the NE and SW people. If you want to see hate, turn to radio biafra.

There are also Yorubas in some part of Kogi, Kwara, Niger and Edo states but they are not part of the SW, and no one is forcing anyone.

Politics / Re: Unilag 2nd Best University In West Africa After A B/faso University by asala1: 7:22pm On Apr 20, 2015
peleson:
The only university in Nigeria established with the act of parliament is the 2nd best in West Africa after a B/faso university. The reason can be traced to too many universities nigeria government has to fund at a time unlike most of her West African counterparts that have less than 8 universities to take care of.With 1.3Trn fund set aside by Gej administration, in the next 6years, serious Nigeria universities will be in the top 10 rankings.

Stop been an illiterate. That is not the ranking of the best Universities, it just a web ranking based on web appearance. What does that even mean?

This is not a reliable ranking. Why will someone even rank a university based on web appearance? I believe this should not be on a public forum like Nairaland cause it speaks of we Nigerians and how we think.

It is just bitterness and outburst from some people who lose out in this election and it is so now because things are still fresh. I believe the outburst is actually a good thing as it will calm their nerves and avoid unnecessary suicide.

But with time things will eventually normalise.
