Holi Safety: Pregnant Women Must Avoid Chemical Colors, Wet Holi, Market Sweets

• Chemical colors with heavy metals like lead and arsenic can cross the placenta, harming fetal development.
• Wet Holi increases the risk of slipping injuries for pregnant women and potential stomach infections from contaminated water.
• Avoid market sweets, gujiya, and thandai due to possible adulteration or intoxicating substances like bhang.
• Wear full-sleeved clothes and apply almond or mustard oil for skin protection against colors.
• Pregnant women should prioritize herbal colors, dry Holi, homemade food, and avoid crowds for safety.
