Have you heard of the evil eye? Know what it is and how it is avoided.
As moms, we try to take care of our little ones of all possible ills, even those that science has not been able to clarify. Among them is the famous? Evil eye?, which according to popular belief, is the negative energy with which a person can make a baby sick.
Children, the younger they are, are more sensitive and susceptible, so much so that they can perceive the environment they are in more intensely. It is thought that a person with bad intentions or a very heavy gaze can affect babies: it lowers their defenses and causes fevers, loss of appetite, skin allergies, diarrhea, vomiting and uncontrolled crying without apparent cause.
It is also believed to be an unintended evil; that is to say, a person who transmits the “evil eye” may not be aware of what he does, although there are also people with bad intentions who ask to carry a baby to infect it.
To avoid spreading the “evil eye”, moms often tie a red ribbon or bracelet around the baby’s wrist, and it is also believed that wearing a seed called a deer eye will protect them from this evil.
If your little one has symptoms of “evil eye”, remember that the most important thing is to take him to his pediatrician to rule out any other health problem.
