A consultant paediatrician at the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research, Yaba, Lagos, Dr. Agatha David, says kissing a newborn on the lips or any part of the face can lead to meningitis, a viral infection caused by herpes. She warned parents against allowing outsiders to carry their newborns, especially within the first month of life, noting that their immune system is still very fragile to fight off pathogens or environmental germs.

Dr. David, who is the head, Clinical Trial Research Group and Chief Research Fellow at NIMR, disclosed this during an interview with PUNCH HealthWise, adding that some adults have blisters on the side of their lips caused by Herpes Simplex virus, and can also have it transmitted to a newborn through their breath.

The paediatrician said, “A baby’s immune system is not properly developed to fight off the infection. Herpes can be fatal at whatever age, and can manifest like blisters or fever burns. Herpes doesn’t clear, as it stays in the body and manifests when the immune system is suppressed. Kissing a baby on the face can cause such an infection that affects even the brain, and can lead to death,” she warned.

David explained that meningitis is an inflammation of the fluid and membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord. She said it is often less severe than bacterial meningitis, and that most people get better on their own, but babies younger than one month old are more likely to have severe illness from viral meningitis.

“People displaying any visible signs of illness or common cold, cough, runny nose, sore throat, or a rash should not come into close contact with a newborn. People should treat newborns with respect. Wash and sanitise your hands when paying a visit to a home where there is a new baby. Don’t get too close. It is our culture to show love and care to a newborn, but such acts can endanger the life of the baby,” the consultant warned.

The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention also warned that herpes virus, which commonly affects the mouth in the form of cold sores, can cause significant infections in newborns.

“Herpes outbreaks can be painful or unsightly in adults; and when a newborn is infected with herpes, serious and, sometimes, fatal complications can occur,” CDC warned.

Oyibo parents and visitors that have been kissing newborns for ages nko?

XXXXTENTACION:
Ogbeni you smoke



which kain talk be this

OBJ shagged one of his son's wife years back!

Or you yorubas think we have forgotten?

Gabriel004:
You are really stupid. Were we not here when your brothers were complaining that yoruba people are already taken over their businesses.

Keep fooling yourself.

Yoruba took over which businesses? Yet yoruba carries placards crying that Igbos should leave southern wa.ste? Keep deluding yourself

Kennyswag:
ok.. when we start murdering your flatheadds here, don't cry...

The worst your omoluabeasts brothers will do is to burn their shops in the dead of the night!

You burn the shops, my Igbo brothers restock their goods and increase the price 5x to cover the expenses which your coneheaded afonjas will pay for.

Daft numbskulls from the South W@ste

Kennyswag:
expect reprisal..bastard

Empty chestbeating from coneheads

bluefilm:
Expect another video very soon from that stupid guy giving Igbos 24 hours ULTIMATUM to leave Yorubaland.

The other ultimatum he gave expired and the bastard and his gang of foools did nothing

AgbariOjukwu1:
Lol, Akure is a wrong place for any Igbo person to try rubbish. Akure no be Lagos.

Usual empty chestbeating

I thought holding a woman that is not your wife like that is "Haram" according to Islam in the North?

WILLuKPquiet:
Why won't you say that when he married non Igbo.

That's the exact reason he is yarning trash na

Peter Okoye always yarning trash!

bash8936:
The funniest thing is that [b] a south westerner will still be the flag bearer of apc in 2023. who will in turn be the president. [/b ]
Just like Osibanjo became VP after Obasanjo presidency, Igbos will cry marginalization and shout of Biafra tire.. And Tinubu will be the landing factor of Yoruba presidency if not the candidate, unless he’s dead. He has majority of apc governors, speaker and senate president. 2most populous state already strategizing(Kano and Lagos). The game have started. Tinubu have started the move already...The foot soldiers are already answering the clarion calls.

Ii is ok to daydream like an intoxicated weed addict

Jodha:
Nawa o... she's really weird ....
I'm not actually restricting my spouse from having female friends....but i feel being too cosy with neighbors to the extent that especially the female ones flock into yhur house anytime dey like...is a serious red flag for me.

You have trust issues!

Just open up and tell us that you are insecure about the notion that the guy may be shagging his neighbor and ladies who think like this are the types who "do" with their own male neighbors!

A Igbo proverb says" Ogbu nmaa anaghi ekwe ka onye ji nmaa ga ya b'azu... meaning: "A knife stabber is always cautious about people who carry knives behind his/her back".

Good one!

I learnt it was an Igbo man who exposed him.

omoluabi adedeji who has been preying on defenseless women looking for visa.

Go back to your SW cave and behave like an animal there.

98% of married women who got married from the late 90's till now cheat on their husbands!

Ask skales67...the wife-banger

Una wan give Bubu High BP abi?

godforus:
so you place bets i've always known you've been a worthless man. Better look for other sustainable and honest means of livelihood and stop relying on gamble.

Thought APC gave you an appointment

God is not asleep. He will continue to remain poor because he sold his conscience to the devil and supports evil. Fortune never smiles at his likes.

If the North has truly turned against buhari, it would have been reflected during the EndSARS protests. But we all saw how indifferent they were.

Northerners and South Westerners are all the same. They can never learn from their mistakes and put religious and tribal sentiments before their suffering.

pocohantas:
We can do both at the same time (if we want to).

I am just trying to let him know that they are not mutually exclusive acts (i.e) the presence of one doesn’t indicate the absence of the other.


Women (by nature) are good multitaskers.

Scripted photo that was take to stroke the feministic ego of women!

Who was taking the pictures? Why can't the person help with the kid's homework?

Lawliet:
Marry a man that supports you, not the one that will be breathing fire because a better guy is on your heels

#Craptalk

For you to see another man as "better" than the one you are with shows that you do not deserve to be in a union because even when you get to be with the so-called better one, you will still be seeing the "better-ness" in other men and will never be contented with the present one!

Hotels in the South west are like that. Thy will spend money and build the structures well and hang photos of their bleaching Obas and kabiyesis but try and tell them to serve you food...even dog will reject the food!

Ogbuu101:

They should do an experiment and build a train from Lag to Onitsha and put a price tag of 15K, IPOB go still pay happily

That is it!

This government in their hatred for the Easterners decided not to build infrastructures that will give them (the government) revenue but in order to spite the Easterners, built it for the SW and North but in the end, it becomes a white elephant project!

Which yoruba man will pay N3,000 for a train ride to Ibadan from Lagos while those their outdated Mazda and Nissan Buses can take them there for N500? But like you rightly said, Igbos will pay for it conveniently if it was sighted in their location.

Useless government!

Dpharisee:
Everytime you mention Buhari they will tell you he built Lagos Ibadan railway, now see all of them lamenting that they will take bus N500 instead of train 3k to 6k

I swear!

CalliDora1:
If you know what some women are passing through in their marriage, you'll understand what I'm saying. That is not to hold briefs for her though but there are some kind of heavy burden that will make one lose touch with reality. Let's pray not to experience it.

I am aware of such heave burden and if it was truly heave for whomever left the child there in the bus, the burden would have probably not allowed her to step out with the child in the first place than abandoning him there

longetivity:
RIP young lady, your Killers will never know peace.



and to the idiots that set Edo inmates free. you will all die miserably

I hope you are not one of the gullible Nigerians who believe whatever the government tells you!

Nobody set any inmates of any prison free! The prison break was a script by the FG to paint the #EndSARS protests black!

Some inmates confessed that on that fateful day, the prison officials broke just opened the gates and told some inmates to run out and some to climb the fence. Nigerian Prison officers in the prisons make use of teargas. If the protesters really broke into the prison to set the inmates free, it would have been unsuccessful. Think about it very carefully

YorubaPrince:
Okoro Savages at it again.

Thank God it was in Igboland. If na "Fake Facebook Baba" posters people a.k.a omoluabeasts, whoever handled the baby would rather severe his head for rituals

CalliDora1:
Eeiiyaa... She was prolly thinking of so many things at a time courtesy the kind of marriages we have nowadays.

Now I believe when the Bible says " peradventure a mother forgets her suckling child, God will never forget me" hm.. ive always tot it's not possible and this just proved to me that a mother can forget her baby.

Chai! Baba God you too much. I gat the message clearly now.

Thank you Lord.

Stop making excuses for an irresponsible stupid mother. What on earth is she passing through in her marriage that will make her forget that she has her child with her and leave him there?

The mother deserves to be caned properly (that's if it was her who left the child there)

So funny that Afonjas who were hailing Buhari and Amaechi for the rail will not be able to afford it.

You guys should watch out for what will happen next!

This move by Zulum will be secretely frowned at by the sponsors of Boko Haram and the next move will be to hang an accusation on him, have him impeached and replaced by a zombie governor who will be doing their bidding! Just WATCH AND SEE!

No be Nigeria again?

Gbagam! They saw that the victims have started coming out so they retreated in fear and shame! Most useless Police force on the planet!

Sorry oga! Her name is Mamman! She is fro the North and the North na una (South West) master. If Madam beat houseboy, he no go complain o

flokii:
Amotekun is here to stay.. we say no to banditry and kidnapping on our soil.

We really need to look into mass migration of some people into our lands. They now run baby factories and human trafficking syndicates in SW. Soon they'll influence naive Yorubas into joining their illicit business and end up destroying our morals and value, stealing and selling descendants of Odua for money, rituals and organ harvesting. People who love money over life are not welcomed in our midst.
Yoruba ronu!

But i hope you are very aware that "the migrants" did not bring in skull mining, rape and the recently added cannibalism into SW region. Amotekun should beam their searchlight on these crimes perpetrated by the indigenes

Go and become a thug and build your own... Mumu!
