Washing hands after pooping?!
Question: Washing hands after pooping!?
i always wonder why is it essential to wash your hands after #2!? i mean you are using the toilet paper to wipe your behind and during that process in no way did my hands actually come in contact with my bum or any faecal matter!. i ask his because today after i pooped i hurried out of the toilet didnt wash my hands properly only a touch of soap and had a swoosh of water on my finger tips!. i proceeded to eat chips with my hands afterwards!. i usually have good toilet hygien but now im paranoid that i may get some disease or i might get sick!. im a professional athlete so i really dont want to get sick and hinder muscle growth and development!.

Okay, here is a quick list of the reasons to wash your hands after using the restroom:
1!. Your hand may have incidental contact with your rectal area!.
2!. Your hand may have touched a dirty toilet seat or toilet bowl!.
3!. Your hand touched the toilet handle which may be covered in bacteria!.
4!. Some bacteria are harmless to your intestinal and rectal area, but harmful when transferred to your mucous membranes such as your eyes, nose, or mouth!.
5!. Fecal matter can actually travel through the air in the form of a microscopic mist and has been found up to 30 feet away from the toilet!. You may have touched surfaces that are contaminated!.
6!. Infections from your rectal area can be transfered to other parts of your body!.
7!. You may have touched a surface that someone else contaminated with bacteria!. I may have smeared my flu germs on the toilet handle you just touched!.
8!. It helps prevent you from spreading your bacteria to other people who may shake your hand or touch surfaces that you touched!. It's not all about you!.
Having said all of that, the odds that you infected yourself with anything today is about a million to one so don't worry about it!. Just remember to wash next time!. It's just good practice!.
Did you know that the number one cause of death in hospitals is infection, and the leading cause of those infections is people not washing their hands!? Just thought I would add that little fun fact!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

i think you should wash your hands after #2 just because its a part of having good hygiene!. thats pretty gross if you dont, i dont think you can get a disease, from not washing your hands, and i dont believe you can get pinkeye from it either, i looked it up and i didnt find anything about fecal matter causing pink eye!. just wash your hands thoroghly everytime you go to the bathroom just to be safe and you'll have nothing to worry about!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
For Pete's sake, people, CALM DOWN!
While washing hands after defecating is always considered a good hygene practice, consider this:
Your forebears did not always practice good hygene, yet they survived long enough to procreate!.
You are the end result of countless generations of bad-a** Mother****ers!. Think about it!. They survived!.
The only criterion is Survival!. Your ancestors did it!. If not, you would not be here to ask this asinine question!.
Are you going to die because you ate some chips with crap-stained fingers!?
Unlikely, but I would like to comment that our Species could benefit from the elimination of Nervous Nellies!.
Read a book before you post your next hysterical question!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
