When us volunteers got together for a weekend back in April, we were exchanging stories and trying to understand some strange health concerns we’ve heard at our placements. We compiled a little list, and hopefully we will add to this in our remaining months. I just thought I’d share some of them with you.
-Breast-feeding up until the age of 5 years old is acceptable.
-It is dangerous to sleep in the same room as the computer, whether it is on or off, because it will make you sick and give you diseases.
-You shouldn’t sit on the ground if you are a woman, inside or outside, because then you won’t be able to have children.
-If you don’t wear socks indoors, you will get sick.
-If you don’t wear slippers, you will get sick. (Keep in mind that they often times don’t use soap or hot water to wash their dishes, but then blame my sicknesses on not wearing slippers in a decently heated house.)
-Going outside with wet hair is a death wish. It doesn’t matter what the weather is like.
-If you drink cold things, you will get sick. It will make your throat hurt.
-If you don’t put sugar in your coffee, it’s not healthy.
-It is really dangerous to wear your hair binder around your wrist.
