Karaoke Microphone Warning: The Hidden Risk of Herpes Infection
A recent warning has been circulating on social media about the risks of getting too close to microphones while singing at karaoke venues, known as KTVs, in China. A woman from Zhejiang province shared her disturbing experience of contracting the herpes simplex virus after singing at a KTV with her mouth too close to the microphone. The virus caused painful blisters and swelling around her mouth, which initially improved with antibiotic treatment but later recurred. Unfortunately, she was diagnosed with a lifelong condition, as the herpes simplex virus can remain dormant in the body and flare up whenever the immune system is weakened.
