Interesting things to know about the towel

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.

KIAMBU WOMAN IS A SMALL ARMY

By Serah Kahiu
I actually feel sorry for anyone who picks up a fight with a Kiambu woman. Wee unatoka na huko na wazimu yako unakuja kuchokoza. The first time she will forgive you. But you repeat again and again, she will eventually snap. She will cry a little. Then her stakeholders who cannot stand to see her cry will deal with you kakamoniasry. Yaani hata wewe utajishangaa vile utatendwa.
You may think she is tiny and helpless and harmless coz she's God fearing member of jumuiya/guild/mothersUnion. But she is never alone. In fact for every small, quiet Kiambu woman, is an army of Loyal brothers (biological and adopted) who will do ANYTHING for her. Anything. I have seen very bad things happen to those who chokoza these ladies repeatedly and unnecessarily. I have been told that bad things have been done on my behalf gasps by my fanatical brotherly defenders, some of whom I've never even met.
So I try my best to walk away from these wachokozi coz I know a drop of my tear can lead to Uhm... very bad things happening to clueless forkojembes. In other words, there are people who bask in the happiness of such woman and almost worship it. So when that happiness departs, they will do anything to bring it back. They will remove that which took away this happiness.
We Kiambu women work hardest, Pray harder and Play hard with that money we made. Just let us do it in peace.
Ndamûthaitha priss, tiganai nao. Nî mwaki wa guotera haraya
