About this appearance
Televised medical segment (3m 33s) explaining that adulterated henna (mixed with toxic black dye/PPD) causes severe contact dermatitis, blisters, and chemical burns, while tattoo inks contain heavy metals and formalin, can transmit bloodborne viruses (HIV, Hepatitis, herpes) via needles, trigger vitiligo, and require 6–10 laser sessions to remove.
