A comparative report directed by the University of Oklahoma uncovered that “can tuft could assume a contributory job in the transmission of irresistible maladies.” And one (more established) study uncovered that whatever goes in a latrine can live there for long after you flush, and even apportion destructive microorganisms onto different articles and surfaces in your washroom, including your toothbrush. Ummm, yuck!
The lesson of the story? Put the cover down before you flush the latrine. Clean and sterilize your toilets routinely, practice safe flushing strategies, and you’ll be well prepared to shield yourself and your family from hurtful microorganisms.
