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.

It seems the entire Royal Media Service, under the ownership of Dr. SK Macharia, has waged war against former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and his Luo nation. Barely a week after Citizen TV’s Julie Gichuru insulted the leadership of Luo Nyanza, led by former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, of foolishly concentrating on the referendum while abandoning Luos to languish in abject poverty and diseases, another one has also come out to condemn the poor people of Nyanza. Speaking in his popular satirical programme, Yaliyotendeka, on Citizen Radio, controversial presenter, Waweru Mburu, insulted Luos badly for heckling and stoning President Uhuru Kenyatta in Migori, saying the people of Nyanza are stupid and useless enough to allow themselves to be used like tissue paper by Raila Odinga and politicians. He noted that Monday’s incident showed how unreasonable and uncivilized Luo people are and gave Raila Odinga a permanent political scar that he will never shed off for the rest of his remaining short life. Waweru, who also co-hosts Cheche programme on Citizen TV, wondered why Luo hooligans had to wait when Uhuru was in Nyanza to show their wooden stupidity and hatred for Governor Okoth Obado, saying such acts combined with small thinking minds is what has made them lag behind in terms of development. “If you hate your tribesman, Obado, why wait when Uhuru is there to heckle him - you should have stayed at home instead of exposing your thick headedness, because it only revealed you don’t think for yourselves,” Waweru Mburu said while referring to Luos. And like Julie Gichuru, Waweru told Luo politicians to drop the referendum, which is being spearheaded by Raila Odinga, and concentrate on helping poor Luos from poverty.
