"Check cancer regularly to discover early stages cancer before it is really too late"
When you're diagnosed with cancer, please don't ask, "Why me?" Some things are indeed related to our everyday habits—like toothpicks and disposable chopsticks.
Last year, a colleague at my company suddenly learned he had oral cancer and passed away about a year later.
He was a very honest person, conscientious in his work, and provided excellent service.
He didn't smoke or chew betel nut, and he always ate late into the night.
He had a habit after meals:
He always liked to use toothpicks, and specifically the kind where he would hold a toothpick in his mouth for a long time before spitting it out.
One day, he felt something was broken and ulcerated inside his mouth, which didn't look good at all.
He went to see a dentist, who said, "It's nothing serious, just apply some medicine and take some oral medication, and it will get better."
A week passed and it still hadn't improved, so he went back for another checkup.
Another week passed, and there was still no improvement.
At the follow-up appointment, the doctor realized something was wrong and told him to go to a major hospital for a checkup immediately—
The result was that it was already late-stage oral cancer.
Afterwards, he underwent two major surgeries and chemotherapy, trying everything,
but in the end, he couldn't make it and passed away.
Toothpicks, like disposable chopsticks, are used long-term,
constantly held in the mouth, and accidentally puncture the mucous membrane or break the skin,
which is actually very dangerous.
Most people easily overlook these small items,
and use them every day because they're used to them.
I sincerely advise everyone, if you can avoid using chopsticks, then don't.
Otherwise, you won't end up like our colleague, passing away suddenly and unjustly.
Don't keep asking, "Why did it have to be me?"
If you don't want it to be you, please at least carry a pair of unused chopsticks with you.
Here's another real-life example—chopsticks and lymphoma (especially important for those who don't cook at home or frequently eat out).
This message was sent to a young colleague who was always in good health.
He exercised regularly, played tennis, and seemed very fit.
Last month, he caught a cold,
and his lymph nodes swelled. A hospital checkup revealed
a 6cm malignant tumor—stage 4—in his lymph node.
Before it was discovered, there were almost no symptoms.
Besides being shocked, there was even more shock. Today I start chemotherapy, so I sent this information to everyone to remember:
There are many invisible "killers" in life,
avoid them if you can,
and stop asking, "Why me?"
These things are really happening.
If you still use disposable chopsticks,
soak them in boiling water for three to five minutes,
and you'll see the bleach and impurities slowly dissolve...
For your health,
it's really important to have a pair of chopsticks at the office/workplace.
