Here are some links to articles I've found. Dateline or 20/20 did a show a few years back about the health risks associated with these places, but I can't find it. Here are others....



Dangers Lurk in Dirty Salons
Hair and Nail Salons Linked to Infectious Diseases
Nail Salon Nightmares

*Note* - Not all nail salons are plagued, I just choose to never take that chance again!
Sorry Em but that "green fungus" you developed was probably a result of there being a pocket of moisture between the acrylic and your nail bed. It doesn't have anything to do with dirty tools. But it does have a lot to do with a poor job being done.
