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. Launder towels once a week. 2. Use hot water and det...
1. Never go to bed with your car's fuel tank empty (No fuel). In case of an emergency, what if your good neighbour isn't at home.<a href="https://c.jumia.io/?a=263&c=1291&p=r&E=kkYNyk2M4sk%3D&utm_campaign=263&utm_term=Kenya+1&s1=Kenya+1"><img src="https://affiliates.jumia.com/banners/Jumia Kenya/Phones/250x250.png"/></a>
2. Never employ a nanny you don't know her home. Some of them are child traffickers in disguise.
3. Never go to bed with your phone empty (No airtime). Most emergencies happen at night.
4. Do not stand or park your car under high tension cable especially when it is windy.
5. Do not attempt to start your generator with your phone torchlight as the source of light. As this could cause explosion.<a href="https://c.jumia.io/?a=263&c=1291&p=r&E=kkYNyk2M4sk%3D&utm_campaign=263&utm_term=Kenya+1&s1=Kenya+1"><img src="https://affiliates.jumia.com/banners/Jumia Kenya/Phones/250x250.png"/></a>
6. Do not answer telephone calls in the kitchen when your gas cylinder is turn on.
7. Endeavour to crawl under the smoke if a house is engulfed by smoke, as walking straight could cause suffocation. Smoke mounts up.
8. If by mistake you swallow a fish bone, lick salt, and pull your ears while you cough out the fish bone.
9. If you are in any traffic or 'hold up', 'go- slow' as in local parlance, if you must remain in your car while it is not in motion, always apply your central lock.
10. Do not leave your children alone in the car with your dog or any pet.
11. Nowadays, never enter a lift alone if you must. So many are already gone through this.
12. Never leave your opened drink to take a call outside. It could be a plan to distract you. Many have been poisoned through this.
13. Never rush out to turn off the tap on hearing its sound in the night. It's a new robbery trick to wilfully bring you out. Remember, you didn't leave it running before retiring to bed.
Be security conscious! Don't be careless!! Share with friends and loved ones if you find it important and educative!!!<a href="https://c.jumia.io/?a=263&c=1291&p=r&E=kkYNyk2M4sk%3D&utm_campaign=263&utm_term=Kenya+1&s1=Kenya+1"><img src="https://affiliates.jumia.com/banners/Jumia Kenya/Phones/250x250.png"/></a>
