How often do you wash your towel? Some people wash once a week, while some, once a year. The towel is a fertile breeding ground for millions of microbes, especially those found on human skin and on the gut. No wonder the towel is one of the objects that facilitate fecal-oral contamination (literally connecting the two ends of the gut). Worse still, most people keep towels in the bathroom (near the toilet). Every flush of the toilet sends mist with millions of microbes, ranging from H.pylori, salmonella and other deadly bacteria and viruses. When you wash your hands ready for a meal, and dry them with your body towel, there's high chance you are directly ingesting your fecal matter, or, if in a shared lavatory, someone else's faeces. Unless cleaned well, viruses such as human papillomavirus (causes warts, anal cancer and cervical cancer) can be transmitted when towels are shared with infected individuals. So, what to do? 1.

Deputy President William Ruto now faces a serious rebellion in Kalenjinland after embattled Bomet Governor, Isaac Ruto,told Kalenjins to ignore him.Speaking at Emorijoi Africa Gospel Church in Narok County, the Bomet Governor told Kalenjins residing in Mau Forest not to leave as ordered by the Deputy President, until he apologizes to former Prime Minister Raila Odinga for demonizing him during the Grand Coalition Government when he tried to evict Mau settlers to save the water tower. Isaac said Ruto is playing double standards by demanding for the eviction of Kalenjins from Mau when he vehemently opposed it at the time when Raila Odinga was doing it. He urged the settlers to stay put telling them not to allow the Deputy President intimidate them. “Ruto is the biggest hypocrite I have ever met, when Raila Odinga tried to evict people from Mau, he opposed and now that he is in Government, he wants to do exact same thing; this cannot be allowed and I want to urge you not to vacate the forest until he comes clean about it,” said the Bomet Governor. “We will not allow some few individuals to use Mau as a political tool and that’s why I will stand firm and ensure President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy, William Ruto, do not harass families residing in Mau,” he added. Ruto parted ways with Raila Odinga when the former PM tried to evict people from Mau to save Kenya’s largest water tower, a decision that Ruto never agreed with.
