I am increasingly worried about the relatively innocuous hairdresser back-wash. I think they must contribute to a significant number of strokes around the world.

Then I read about this in the stroke e-bulletin recently.

I then read there is there is a vertebral artery stenting trial VIST going on now.

They say,

‘Narrowing (stenosis) of the vertebral arteries in the neck, which supply blood to the back of the brain, is an important cause of stroke.’

Here is a diagram of a stenosis.

They team behind VIST also say,

“This causes posterior circulation stroke which accounts for 20% of ischaemic strokes.’

The moral of this blog:

1. Have a dry cut.
2. Stand up at sink
3. Use a forward facing sink
4. Become a hippy
