Beauty Tips For Body Care
I do not recommend doing this.It was just some Nori that my roommate was not using, I thought I would slap it on as a detox mask. I found an article on xovain and it seemed fine, however I believe that I used much more than those ladies because I really started to like it, and I put it on my neck and décolletage and shoulders as well. After a while (15 min?) it started to fall off so I took it off and left it in a little pile while I kept watching a movie but... did not wash my face. In fact, I was enjoying having seaweed speckles all over it. I don't know how much time elapsed until I actually got myself to the shower, perhaps 45 min. My skin actually looked really good at the post-shower stage, then I got back to the computer and started noticing that I could taste metal in my mouth. This is when my actual brain, which works pretty well sometimes, connected a bunch of dots all at once so I googled "iodine poisoning". At that time I only fit one criterion, the metal taste, so I didn't freak out right away, though I should have.That was Friday afternoon. By Saturday evening, I was screaming and writhing in my bed, howling for help, puking every time I tried to sit up.Here's where some complications come into play: I'm in a country which is not my own (Germany), Saturday was their unity holiday so no one was around (I did not know that at the time) and yes, it's true, I let my private insurance lapse because it is really expensive. So, I did not call 112 (911). Late at night, my (German) roommate came home in his unity party hat during a lapse in partying and found my screaming corpse asking him wtf to do. Mentally I was completely gone at this point and had all but forgotten that iodine could be the cause. To his great discredit, he halfheartedly took out his phone and somewhat mockingly asked if I should like a Krankenwagen, and I caved to his nonchalant attitude and said no, also fearing what would happen with no insurance. He left soon after and I went back to boiling water and putting it in the fridge to cool before I drank it, I was delusional and I thought the tapwater itself was making me ill.What else... on Sunday I was sure that my problem was, for some reason, magnesium deficiency so I got up and stumbled about 2.4 kilometres to the nearest open-Sunday apotheke (pharmacy), straight past the celebratory Mauer Park Sunday crowd, 100% of which judged me to be a heroin addict at the end of her half-life. My calf muscles kept betraying me but I persevered by remembering this guy. I got to Apotheke and bought some Magnesium and also some Aspirin, these things brought me very little relief.Yesterday was ok, I made myself a lot of fairly nutritious food, I still wasn't able to stand up for very long. Of course I also had to Dodeskaden my way to the store so that was super fun.Today I felt almost human again, though it took me until this evening to realise that all those issues I had over the weekend were really just the Iodine poisoning. I have some other health issues so my theories were all over the place. Oh, and I was delirious as all get-out. My symptoms remaining are: Tinnitus, related to Thyroid gland I guess, which iodine affects, and a pretty odd-seeming deathly pallor.So for reference all the symptoms are, with my experience in brackets:Abdominal pain (could have been from other things but yes)Coughing (strangely no)Delirium (ME TOO THANKS)Diarrhea (nope)Fever (already had a fever so idk, it did not get worse I think)Metallic taste in mouth (yes, in the beginning)Mouth and throat pain (kinda)No urine output (it outputs when you puke)Seizures (phew, no. well maybe in sleep?)Shock (unable to self-determine)Shortness of breath (I'm always short of breath)Stupor (dodeskaden)Thirst (very much)Vomiting (very much)In conclusion, perhaps you should like to use a Seaweed mask and in fact they are quite delightful, however I believe that you might purchase a pre-formulated blend of seaweed + a mitigating factor rather than putting it right on your face.
