Washing your hands is crucial to preventing disease. But did you know poop germs mobilize into a mist when you flush the toilet and you can inhale them? It’s true! Leave the room immediately after flushing, because that “gurgle” at the end of the flush is the most dangerous moment for mist inhalation.

The authentic! I said
rising from the toilet seat.
The radiator in rhythmic knockings
spoke of the rising steam.
The authentic, I said
breaking the handle of my hairbrush as I
brushed my hair in
rhythmic strokes: That’s it,
that’s joy, it’s always
a recognition, the known
appearing fully itself, and
more itself than one knew.
Poem by Denise Levertov, Matins
and don’t leave your toothbrush anywhere near the toilet…..
Squat and hover.
Poop mist? Really? Someone should make a perfume then.
You said poop. Heh.
Which makes automatic flushing toilets even more of a horror – if they happen to go off while you’re still sitting on the can!
It is nasty central in public restrooms. The funny thing is they tell you to wash your hands after and if everyone did this it would be fine but they don’t so even though you wash your hands you still have to touch the faucet and the door handle after you wash your hands.
That last image is really disgusting. I think i would be feeling the same as that comment.
Hmmmm, sounds like the nests and non-touch skills Anna describes. Aren’t we an interesting species?
Hahaha, that’s like a nightmare.
*shudder*
Me too.
*shudder*
Sarah has it right but so does Matthew. It just goes on from there.. horror after horror. Do I touch a banister, another doorknob, what about the light switch? Why don’t I feel clean until I get home and wash my hands properly? Come to think of it Gary’s the most correct of all
Oh Gosh, that’s my worse nightmare!
I think I got good muscles in my tights from never sitting on a toilet seat that is not mine
An old fashioned outhouse is much more sanitary. No flush, no poop mist.
