After analyzing 51 public restrooms,
experts found that the stall closest to the restroom door
consistently had the lowest bacteria levels (and the most toilet
paper). The first stall probably sees less traffic because it's near
the door and people want privacy. When you are finished, stand
before you flush. When toilets are flushed, a fine mist of water
containing contagious bacteria sprays up. You can catch intestinal
bugs and hepatitis from it.
Relieve yourself and relieve some stress at the same time. Before
you go to bed, put some small strips of flushable paper and a pencil
in the bathroom. In the following morning, take a seat and write
down the names of all the people or situations in your life causing
you angst. When finished with your business, throw the paper in the
bowl and flush. You will be amazed at how great this makes you feel.
