"Herpes Lawsuit: Portland Nail Salon Accused of Poor Hygiene"
A woman has filed a $1.75 million lawsuit against a Northeast Portland nail salon, alleging that poor hygiene practices during an acrylic manicure led to her contracting genital herpes. The lawsuit claims the nail technician did not wear gloves, used a drill without proper hygiene, and stored the drill bit in an Altoids container. The woman tested positive for herpetic whitlow, and the suit notes previous health violations at the salon.
