Yes, it’s a real Nigerian proverb, and yes, it applies to your health too. 👀 You can’t ignore warning signs and expect everything to stay normal/clean. That weird pain? That lump you’ve been “monitoring”? That screening you’ve been putting off? 🩺 Problems don’t solve themselves. They get worse. Louder. Messier. More expensive. This is your gentle (and slightly gross) reminder: 👉 Don’t wait until it stinks to get help. Take care of it now; your future self (and your fingers) will thank you.
