Scary Video

Scarier than any episode of Star Trek or any science fiction movie!

In these days of Swine Flu and other medical pandemics, you will see nothing scarier than this, shown in this scary video with the facts and another that shows some solutions; something that occurs to most of us every day!

Please look at the rest of this website for solutions and more information.

I have thought about this for years. I am not sure how I started thinking about it, possibly a bit of OCD although I am nowhere near as compulsive as Howie Mandel.

I guess most of it was an article I read once about the percentage of people who do not wash their hands when they leave the bathroom. Because of this, I always use a paper towel to touch the bathroom door when I leave and just in case there are no towels in that particular bathroom, I take a paper towel in with me.

It never ceases to amaze me how many restaurants have no paper towels but only hand dryers. Without paper towels, you have to either open the door with your hands, wait for someone else to come in or leave, or open it with your foot (Which I've done before, it "ain't" easy!).

Toilet flushing has always been of interest to me also. This is why I've written this site. It is for those that are OCD and those that just need to be careful in this era of super germs!

There are 120 viruses in feces, and when a toilet is flushed, water aerosol spray with more than 25,000 virus particles and 600,000 bacteria are ejected from the toilet bowl and can travel up to 6 feet away from the toilet, too quick for you to escape!

These particles last several hours and have the potential, especially in public toilets, to cause dangerous disease. These water particles from the aerosol spray can contain bacteria like salmonella, E. coli, or streptococcus pygoenes.

The greatest aerosol dispersal occurs not during the initial moments of the flush, but when most of the water has already left the bowl." It is advised to leave the (bathroom -- restroom) immediately after flushing to not have the microscopic, airborne mist land on you. Worse still is the possibility of getting the airborne particles in the lungs by inhaling them, from which one could easily contract a cough or cold

Please watch this scary video. You will be totally astonished!

Here are some things to help prevent and protect you from germ infestation and the scary video.

This is a secret toilet tip from the Tyra Banks Show. You may not know this already? It is only a mildly scary video..

Your chance to chime in on germ infestation in public.

In the days of Swine Flue and other pandemics, how important do you think it is to be extra careful in a public restroom?
