Yes, folks, this is something else brought to you by environmentalists. Low water use toilets work by producing a violent flush that sends bacteria and other "yuck" through the air. Could this be part of the reason in the increase in deadly infections in hospitals?

Everything environmentalists do has causes problems. They are a menace to our health and way of life, and now the spineless Republicans are joining in the carbon reduction scam. Heaven help us.

This is a real thing. Try putting a piece of rice paper or tissue paper over your toilet and flushing it. Yup, all that stuff goes right into the air and through your HVAC.

Then there are the air blowers that blast the bugs aerosolized by toilet bowl flushes onto your hands. That’s why I no longer use air blowers.

May. Might. Could. Possibly.

This is bad. I wondered about that at the time our apt. complex owner forced all the hundreds of renters to change toilets. Saving the planet (and their water money).

Greta, you little deviant. How dare you!

Some of those toilets at the airport sound like rocket ships blasting off into the clouds. You can feel the floor shaking from all that force. Very likely there would be a Germ Cloud produced from all that ‘propulsion’.

“Flushing toilets may spread bacteria in hospitals”

FAKE NEWS! They don’t make toilets in Flushing, or anywhere else in NY City. Most are made in Mexico these days (and probably some in China, with our luck).

I contracted CDiff six years ago via community, not anti-biotic. As I learned more, I knew exactly where I contracted it, which was in a public restroom in a grocery store. I should have turned around and ran out. Fortunately, I was lucky, as I only needed two courses (thirty days) of the most disgusting medication I have ever had in my life, (flagyl). In fact, the side effects from the meds were worse than the cDiff.

As a tip and I am not kidding, if one ever goes into a restroom and the odor is like dead animals, don’t touch a thing, leave and, don’t even touch the sink.....just get out and pee your pants while you are running An ungodly odor is the hallmark of CDiff.

The best way to combat the problem is a ventilation system that draws droplets down and away from a bathroom.

To my observation, the opposite would tend to be the problem. I went to a basketball game last night and the restroom had 5 urinals. At least 4 needed to be flushed when I came in and I flushed them. I don’t know about the 5th one because my cousin used it, but it’s gross not to flush the toilet.

My rule: ALWAYS flush the toilet; ALWAYS wash your hands.

No this osn’t them.

There are low flush models that flush like an older toilet and work fine.

Not all pressure assisted toilets are econut creations, most have been around forever. Your urinals and average non-tank commercial toilets have alwats had pressure assist to them.

They are also using pressure washers on the poop laden streets generated by the homeless. The germs in the over-spray must be sickening.
