No for toilet paper .. Medical expert: Rinse with water is healthier and safer for the body and the environment

Experts call for stopping the use of toilet paper or toilet paper and napkins because of the dangers they cause to the human body and the environment, amid increasing demand to purchase these tools in light of the spread of the Cornna virus at the global level.

Writer Katie Murphy asks in an article in the New York Times about toilet paper and says: Why do people hoard if experts agree that rinsing with water is healthier and safer for the environment?

The writer adds that in light of the spread of the "Covid-19" virus globally, this epidemic affects all people differently depending on where they live, and that it leaves its impact on their financial situation and basic health, but one of these effects is the difficulty Finding toilet paper or toilet paper, in light of the increasing demand for it.

She notes that the panic of toilet paper is spreading around the world with the rapid spread of the virus itself, despite the absence of any disruption in supply, adding that the symptoms of the "Covid-19" epidemic are primarily related to the respiratory system, not the digestive system.

Food is still easily found in many stores - the author says - but none of the toilet papers on the shelves.

She also says that this is even more puzzling when one knows that toilet paper is an old technique, and infectious, colon and rectal disease experts say it is neither effective nor healthy.

The article notes that the history of using toilet paper dates back to the sixth century AD, when a Chinese researcher wrote that he "did not dare" use paper from some classic texts "for toilet purposes."

Before inventing or making available toilet paper, people used plant leaves, shells, fur hides, and corn cans. The Greeks and Romans also used small ceramic tablets and sponges on the ends of sticks, which were immersed in a bucket of vinegar or salt water for the next person to use.

The author refers to the perfumed tissues and their uses in this context, but she says that among the unfortunate results is that she began to integrate with the grease in the sewage systems in cities, forming large clogs.

She also says that experts agree that rinsing with water is better for humans on both the health and environmental sides.

The New York Times attributes to Dr. H Randolph Bailey, a colorectal surgeon at the University of Texas-McGovern University of Medicine in Houston, USA, that many people who review him have somewhat significant irritation in and around the anal area.

The specialist recommends the use of a rinse seat or rinse with water in this context.

He explains that most of his injuries are due to excessive cleaning using toilet paper or wiping with wipes that often contain harsh perfumes and chemicals.

And this specialist doctor adds that these methods do not clean such as rinsing with water, warning that failure to clean these sensitive parts of the human body would cause serious diseases transmitted through the stool.

He also says that cholera, hepatitis, colitis and urinary tract infection are major examples in this context, noting that recent studies have found corona virus in stools as well.

The newspaper adds that the majority of families in Japan have high-tech toilets that are capable of disinfection through waterways directed precisely at temperature control, but the rest of the world has been slow to follow this technique.

Returning to people storing toilet paper these days and to order it strangely, the writer says that this is due to their fear of the danger of contamination in light of the spread of the Corona virus epidemic at the global level and its appearance in the stool as well.
