As pathetic as this story sounds, people might think it’s untrue but it is a real life story.
It reportedly happened to a lady in Nairobi, Kenya recently.
Irene Myangoh works as a PA for a Nairobi-based law firm. On this
fateful day, she went to a popular salon along Kenyatta Avenue and spent
over 2944 KES an approximate of 5,500 Naira on a special human hair
weave.
Her hair was nicely done as usual. Unfortunately for Irene, she started
suffering from a severe headache with 14 days of visiting the salon.
When the severe headache refused to leave, she went to a doctor who
prescribed drugs for her. After using the prescribed medicine, the
headache got even worse than before.
Desperate to find a solution to her problem, Irene went to see a specialist who did blood tests and even a brain scan.
All the tests were negative but the headache persisted, making her
unable to concentrate at work and sleeping very poorly. She went back to
her doctor who decided to examine her scalp and under the beautiful
weave he found worms!
The worms were burrowing into her skull and after sending the samples to
the lab they found that the hair had eggs from which the worms had
Irene had to shave after this ordeal and took antibiotics for two weeks.
Elsewhere, 16-year-old girl from Buruburu, a Nairobi surburb, also
suffered the same fate but unfortunately for her she died. Cobweb eggs
were found in her hair after she died.
There was a profound cobweb design in her weaved hair. She dropped dead
after constant headaches. The root cause? The weave had unnoticed spider
eggs.
The warmth produced after weaving provided a very conducive environment
for the eggs to hatch. A spider grew in her scalp and bit her. The
poison found its way to her blood. She could not survive the attack.
Warning to all women, beware what you put on your head.
Yes beauty is pain but you don’t have to subject yourself to needless torture all in the name of beauty.
