How to avoid germs in public washroom
Weekend Plus Desk :
While travelling people often use the
public toilet. And while it is convenient, using a public toilet also increases the chance of getting infections. But it can be avoided if you are a bit careful and follow some steps. Vikas Bagaria, founder of PeeSafe, and Renu Malik, gynaecologist
at Radix Health Care, have given
a few inputs:
* Urination devices: Waterproof funnel like devices, which are generally designed for women to help them urinate
while standing.
* Toilet seat sanitizer: Finding a clean and sanitized toilet while travelling is a daunting task for everyone. Using public or common washrooms is the major cause of increasing urine infection- UTI among Indians. Always carry and use toilet seat sanitizer sprays to avoid such infections.
* Toilet powder: The powder helps
control pests and reduce odours.
* Hand sanitizer and wipes: A must-have in your bag if you are often on
public transit. Contact with unseen germs on the go is unavoidable. Always keep a hand sanitizer and a few wet wipes handy.
