An Unsafe Portable Urinal Could Kill You With Life-threatening Infections

For what it’s worth, public restrooms aren’t any better, and they can even be worse if they aren’t cleaned frequently. It could even turn fatal. Be on the lookout for the symptoms of these horrible conditions and act accordingly to revive as quickly as possible:

1. Noro-virus

If this contagious virus attacks you, expect traits like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomach pain that will appear as soon as 10 to 36 hours later. Blech.

If you can, drink water to rehydrate. Sports drinks can also be had. You may recover and recover in 2 days. It may be a bacterial infection that requires you to see a doctor as soon as possible.

2. Salmonella

This bacteria can cause stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, headache, and fever.

See a doctor right away for antibiotics to help you recover. If the symptoms are very severe, go directly to the clinic.

3. Shigellosis

This causes rectal pain, so it can be said that this is literally a pain in the butt. Common especially in soft and crowded areas, it hides in public restrooms for up to 2 days after planting. Shigellosis is even more dangerous than the other things you might catch during a pit stop, with symptoms like bloody stools, fever, sudden cramps, as well as diarrhea, vomiting, and nausea.

If you can hydrate it like never before. If your nausea makes swallowing difficult, go to a clinic where your fluids will be replenished through an IV. If not, see your doctor, who will do a test and then prescribe some type of antibiotic to help you recover.

4. Hepatitis A

Most people get vaccinated to prevent this viral liver disease and the most dangerous part is that this condition cannot be diagnosed even after 50 days, at which point you may start to have a fever. Other features are nausea, dark urine, stomach pain, jaundice. These symptoms can last up to six months.

See your doctor for a blood test if you suspect you have hepatitis A. Typically 40% of infected people are admitted to the hospital, although other than R&R there is no real remedy.

5. Influenza

These airborne respiratory bacteria can be picked up anywhere other people frequent, which is why portable toilets and public restrooms count in full. The most recent studies have found that the condition can cause muscle aches, coughs, chills, sore throats, headaches, and fever. Once infected, the fever can last up to four days and general exhaustion will last for more than 3 weeks. This could also lead to bronchitis or pneumonia if you are unlucky.

Ask your doctor for an antiviral medicine to decrease the duration of your symptoms. Then put your feet up, drink a ton of water, take an aspirin or Brufen to ease aches and pains.

HOW TO STAY SAFE WITHOUT LOOKING AT YOURSELF

Portable urinals are a must and should be used by everyone from time to time. Just keep these tips in mind the next time you venture into a Porta-Potty.

Be careful with the handle at the entrance of the toilet because no one washes their hands on their way to the toilet so chances are high that it is very dirty.

Make sure to use a paper towel while closing the sink because it’s one of the most germ-prone areas in the toilet as people don’t lather before touching it. That’s why those motion-sensing sinks are sent to the sky.

Do not drop your luggage on the floor of the portable potty. Moisture is like the welcome mat for bacteria and even if the floor is dry, there is a strong possibility that there are various types of pathogens lurking.

Watch for the soles of your shoes when you sit down. When you get out of a portable potty, assume you are bringing disgusting things with you from the portable potty floor. If your hands brush against the soles of your shoes when you sit cross-legged on your campsite or blanket, you could easily contaminate your hands.

Post-Potty always use a hand sanitizer. After thoroughly washing your hands in the toilet sink, this will provide you with additional security.

Sanitize your hands before eating. It’s very easy to pass germs from your fingers to your mouth through food, so this applies to meals, snacks, and gum manipulation, assuming you still have an appetite after reading this article.
