D-Mannose is a naturally occurring sugar. It is found in certain fruits and even produced in the body. The body doesn't metabolize the majority of the mannose when taken and instead it is passed to the urine. There it rapidly binds to the offending bacteria. No side effects have been reported. The body does not react to mannose in the way it does to most sugars.

The danger is when products are applied improperly.

It is not the machine that is dangerous, it is the improper use by the operator that creates a potential for damage. Electric file bits should be cleaned and disinfected after use on a single client. If the bit is visibly dirty, make the operator stop and replace it with a clean one. If they refuse, leave the salon.
