What is the razor blade throat?

 What is the razor blade throat?

A new Omicron subvariant, NB.1.8.1 (nicknamed “Nimbus”), is being closely monitored by the WHO and has been reported to spread quickly in regions like California, Asia, and Europe.

Reports have also been linked to one of the most horrific manifestations of reports; the so-called  razor blade throat where patients report that dealing with the pain of the throat is like passing glass through the throat, or like swallowing razor blades. 

As professionals point out, although it is possible to spread Nimbus, it does not feel much more severe than previous strains, and available vaccines still provide good protection - but it is best to have booster doses and additional measures, such as the use of masks and fluids .
