1. It could give you a life-threatening infection
Kentucky native Audrey Kopp wore hair ties on her wrist all the time, just like all of us. However, a couple of weeks ago, one of her glittery hair ties changed all that. She started to notice a large bump forming on her wrist where she kept the hair tie. She went to the doctor who gave her an antibiotic, but the bump just continued to grow. Finally she got so worried, she went to the hospital where they discovered she had three separate bacterial infections. From a hair tie.
