I am going to toss in my two cents: (lol) Personally, (and I could just be completely wrong here....), I would think that the chemicals in the glue itself would kill any germs or bacteria that possibly remains after wiping the glue brush in acetone or cleaning out an acrylic brush in monomer. My personal belief is those chemicals are not an environment that germs or bacteria could survive or grow in.... but... again... that is JMO. I think it is our professional responsibility to be mindful of the fact that we are not set up with infectious disease control containers, etc and to remember that we are limited as to what we should and should not perform services on. If I had a client with a serious wound on a finger (that I certainly hope was there when he/she arrived and not because I inflicted it!), I would simply not risk my license by attempting any kind of service on it... period! We live in a sue-happy society... I'm not taking any chances! LOL.. But... if I did inflict a wound accidently, I would try to use First Aid and common sense in how I approached it.... as I am sure any one of us would. I would first attempt to stop the bleeding by applying pressure... and then I might attempt to seal the wound with glue.... but I probably would not use a brush-on.

Did you toss your brush? Did you put it in sanitizer or autoclave it? What about the client you may have accidentally nicked while prepping? Now I am not saying to slop the product all over and touch the cut. Or if the client happens to pull back and the brush gets aga inst the torn hangnail? These are just "what-ifs" to think about. I highly doubt you will toss your brush IF this happens. Any porous brush could still have bacteria but the nylon bristles in the nail glue will be cleaned. So what would you do in the case of the greenie? Throw away your brush? Buenos dias, Lynnette Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile No virus found in this incoming message.
