DISADVANTAGES OF THE ZURDOS
Being left-handed is not a disadvantage in itself, but as a minority, the loss has to face a world ready for right-handers:
The use of cutlery, western writing from left to right, the
faucets for sinks, doorknobs, turn of doors
revolving wheels, vehicle rudders, coin slots, watch strings, shift levers (on the right) of vehicles, desks in study sites, etc. In addition to the above, it has been found higher incidence of some pathologies in left-handed people: allergies, migraines, language disorders, autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis).
Remember also that sometimes they are the object of ridicule, incomprehension and
corrective abuse.
