I once saw a demonstration on a television program that made quite an impression on me. A Microbiologist was trying to educate the viewers about the effects of toilet flushing. I guess he thought that the best way to get his ideas across was to demonstrate rather than just lecture.
He could not have chosen a more vivid way of presenting his information. He colored the toilet water by pouring some red dye into it. Seeing is believing they say and in this case, it was even a little shocking to watch.
When the scientist flushed the toilet, he purposely left the lid open. Many droplets sprayed out of the toilet, some traveled as far as twenty feet. They were red so you could see them everywhere, on the floor, on the countertop and anything that was on it, on towels, on rugs, and the toilet seat. The worst part was watching the red toilet water fall on toothbrushes that were on the counter. Now if this red water were only water, no harm would be done. But we all know that toilets are the germiest places we can think of. We've heard about the e. coli bacteria that cause havoc, illness, and recalls of food items. Well, they live in our toilets.
He then closed the toilet lid and flushed again. No water sprayed out. This simple demonstration was worth a thousand words. The lessons here are always flush the toilet with the lid down to avoid spraying germs and keep your toothbrush covered in case someone forgets to flush properly. When using a public restroom where there are no lids, turn your back to the toilet. The automatic flushers allow you to do this.
Think red, don't contaminate.
