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.

By Donald Kipkorir via Facebook H.E President Uhuru Kenyatta, CGH, CiCDF, in paying Rt Hon. Prime Minister Raila Odinga and H.E Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka their retirement benefits, you have nothing to lose but gaining the goodwill of friends and foe. Whoever is telling you not to assent to the Bill till the duo “resign” from politics may not be advising you correctly. Our Constitution is the supreme law and outlaws all forms of discrimination and degrading treatment. When teachers, doctors, engineers et al reach 60, they begin earning their retirement benefits without foregoing their careers. Messrs. Raila and Kalonzo have not done anything else besides politics since their late teens …. They only know politics. To tell them to retire from politics is like asking them to deny self, to abjure their calling, to turn their back on their supporters. Without politics, the duo cease to have meaning in life. No politician retires unless they are incapacitated or die. Walk the high road, and assent to the Bill. Let not Raila Odinga Jnr and Kevin Muasya hold in their hearts that in denying their fathers their payments, you denied them decent upbringing. Mr. President, the total monies you are paying them are less than Kshs.30m each; not even sufficient to finance a parliamentary seat. Leadership is being magnanimous with rivals. Kenya is big enough for Government and Opposition. We are all in it together. Pay them Mr. President. Thekh you mno mno. Donald.
