WASH YOUR HANDS!!

70% of men (oppose to 40% women) do not wash their hands after
visiting a restroom:

Dangerous Bacteria

The following are five pathogenic bacteria families found most
frequently on the toilet seats of public restrooms; the percentage of
seats they were found on and the possible diseases resulting from
exposure:

1. Micrococacceae - 97% - Boils/Pimples, Pus infections
2. Coryneform - 81% Diphtheria, Hepatitis
3. Streptococcaceae - 39% - Epidemic sore throat, Bronchial pneumonia
4. Pseudomonadaceae - 22% - Urinary tract infections, Blood poisoning
5. Enterobacteriaceae - 19% - Kidney infections, Typhoid/Paratyphoid
fever, Salmonella, Shigellosis

In addition, Trichomanas Ptotozoa, which causes an infection of the
lower genital area can be carried in a drop of urine and, if deposited
on a toilet seat, will survive for up to 45 minutes.

Herpes

Studies on the transmission of the Herpes virus conducted by Dr. Trudy
Larson and Dr. Yvonne Bryson at the U.C.L.A. School of Medicine,
determined that a secretion from an open Herpes sore on the thigh or
buttocks of a toilet seat user can be spread onto a toilet seat and
survive up to four hours. The next toilet user could contract the virus
through a break in the skin, which comes in contact with the seat.

The following are other pertinent facts on the presence of the Herpes
virus in the American population:

20 million Americans have incurable genital Herpes.

The Herpes virus, resulting in cold sores, infects 90% of humans.
1 in 10 Americans have Herpes.

How to Make a Clean Getaway

1)Use the right roll: Instead of using an unwrapped roll, use toilet
paper from within the dispenser-it hasn't been exposed to as many germs.

2)Lower the seat lid before flushing: Toilets can spray fecal-infected
water into the air if you leave the top up. No lid? "Flush and run,"
says Dr. Tierno.
3)Lather up: Scrub your hands with warm, soapy water for 20 seconds-any
less time and you're not getting rid of germs. Rinse, then repeat.
4)Towel off: Paper towels from an enclosed holder are best. Pass on air
dryers-they blow the room's germy air right onto your hands.
