Awareness in using public toilets
In my childhood, a friend of mine often got urine infections. She often had to miss school due to this illness.
At first, none of us, including her family, could
understand why she was getting sick again and again, why did she get fever
again and again?!! Much later, one day, while talking to our friends, she said
that she was holding back her bathroom work throughout the school day, that
even though it was very difficult, she did not want to use the school bathroom.
She could not accept going to the school bathroom from her heart.
As soon as this matter came to her family's ears, the
real disease was diagnosed - where was this stomach pain and burning coming
from. Then her family took her to the doctor and she got proper treatment and
at the same time we all got counseling - about the rules of using the bathroom.
However, the important thing is that the awareness of those
concerned plays a big role in public control. If there is a clean toilet, no
one will feel hatred, apathy or fear in the mind of the user.
This unclean toilet will force many more people like
my friend to get sick despite their unwillingness.
To lead a healthy life - you need to know -
Using toilets is a necessary and conscious matter in
our daily lives. There should be no shame or hatred when it is necessary.
Sometimes we are very careful, and sometimes we are
careless, - which can cause a lot of harm and suffering. In our busy lives,
anyone can need to use these public toilets at any time and in any environment.
Many people have to use toilets while traveling, in
offices, courts, schools, colleges, mosques, madrasas, hospitals, hotels and
restaurants. If these toilets are not hygienic, fecal-borne diseases such as
typhoid, cholera, diarrhea, dysentery, hepatitis A, worms, etc. can occur. And
in the current Corona situation, there is no question of it.
Toilet pans, commode seats, water taps, toilet showers,
vessels, door locks or latches, toilet floors and walls - these diseases can be
present everywhere. It can even cause various types of skin diseases. Because,
the skin of many people touches the same place. Therefore, it is important for
us to be careful while using public toilets and it is important to follow the
warnings of experts in this regard.
1. You cannot go to the toilet barefoot. You must
enter the toilet with your shoes on.
2. You must use tissue paper to open or close the
toilet door, turn on or off the water tap, use the vessel mug or whatever is
there, or to hold the toilet flush.
3. Before defecating in the toilet, you must flush it
or pour water on it.
4. Tissue paper can be spread on the commode seat.
This will protect your skin from direct contact with the commode. The tissue
should be thrown away later.
5. After using the toilet, you must flush it again or
pour water on it.
6. Items that block the mouth or drain of the toilet,
such as paper, clothes, etc., cannot be thrown into the toilet.
7. After defecating, you must not touch the door
handle or the faucet, or the water tap and vessel with dirty hands.
8. After using the toilet, you must wash your hands
thoroughly with soap. If soap is not available, you should refrain from eating
anything with your hands until you wash them. You should not even touch your
nose, mouth or eyes with your hands.
9. When traveling or on a long journey, you should
keep a paper towel or hand sanitizer in your handbag. On the way, you should
use public toilets and clean your hands with hand sanitizer.
Everyone - be aware of your place to lead
a healthy life.
