This may seem a bit obvious, but I just want to be sure: if you have a cut on your anus (please don't ask!) and you take a crap, are you at risk for getting e coli or something?
yes and no. Chances are that the cut has closed over and there is no foreign matter coming in. The risk is minimal at this point unless the cut continues to open up and bleed.
If you're healthy, and the wound isn't re-opening, I wouldn't be concerned.
That being said, yes there is large number of bacteria in your poop that would like nothing more then to get into your blood stream, or just your soft tissue. These are digestive bacteria and you're meat.
Interesting did you know: The normal flora in a persons gut is unique to themselves. There isn't another person who has the same bacterial colonization spread as your self. Given that your crap contains the excess bacteria, dead bacteria, and bacterial waste, you could identify a person based on their dookie. It probably wouldn't hold up in a court of law, but you could be poo-printed.
_______ Always, Craven Morhead
Craven Morehead.......Thanks for the information. In future crime sprees I shall try not to leave and damning evidence laying around.
I think we could possibly be identified by our assholes also, I have seen a few and they all looked slightly different. Don't sit on a clean surface with a dirty ass at a crime scene.
_______Eat chilies and feel the burn!!
If you don't walk around with a nasty, dirty, un-wiped ass all day, I wouldn't think you would be at much risk. But you have to be sure to wipe. The number of people I'm guessing are walking around with un-wiped asses (based on the number of shit-filled public toilets I've seen, with no toilet paper in sight) is staggering. Society really has gone down the shitter.
So, yeah - wipe your ass! _______"...you guys are missing the genius of Turdgutson's idea. We should certainly not be shitting in the sink, but why not invent a Toilet Disposal? Your tampon, giant turd, or some hooker's hand won't flush? Just flip a switch!" - SamDamnit
It depends on the name of your poop and if it was a boy or girl poop. Girl poops are definitely put you at higher risk for infection because they contain more bacteria compared to boy poops. And girl poops who's names begin with the letters A - G are much more likely to cause infection although there has been little research into why this is the case.
Thanx everyone...my friend says I should explain the cut, but I don't know if it's really appropriate for this site..._______I will never shit somewhere that only has that horrible, scratchy brand of toilet paper. That stuff sucks!
I tend to think that any risk of disease is minimal compared to the risk from actually obtaining the cut.
Ummm...it may be obvious to everyone else, but I could be a little slow today, I have no idea what your comment is, Regifter. Plz explain. :D_______I will never shit somewhere that only has that horrible, scratchy brand of toilet paper. That stuff sucks!
Just a scenario: Let's say you sat on a wooden board or something and get a sliver in your asshole producing the cut. I would assume the risk of disease would be greater from that than from your feces, providing your anus is kept pretty clean. I mean I'm no doctor but seems like it to me.
Oh, I get it now. At the risk of getting a lame comment thing, I shall explain. I was in the shower, and i dropped the shampoo bottle ( a variation of the prison joke don't drop the soap) No, I havea faucet with a little pin that you pull up to take a shower, and when I went to pick up the bottle, I sat right on the pin, hich I have now found out has a very sharp edge. Hence, a cut, leading to this question._______I will never shit somewhere that only has that horrible, scratchy brand of toilet paper. That stuff sucks!
This thread brings up a good point. Those of you who choose to follow my four-step program for 'roid removal would do well to have a couple of antiseptic prep pads handy to clean the site following the procedure, as well as a branding iron of some sort t cauterize the wound. _______"...you guys are missing the genius of Turdgutson's idea. We should certainly not be shitting in the sink, but why not invent a Toilet Disposal? Your tampon, giant turd, or some hooker's hand won't flush? Just flip a switch!" - SamDamnit
In prison, you might get pricked in the shower, but it won't be from a pin.
Hahahaha, nice, prarie doggin. Very true..._______I will never shit somewhere that only has that horrible, scratchy brand of toilet paper. That stuff sucks!
CravenMorhead, I know this is a little off topic but I just wanted to tell you that I love your name.
It reminds me of a radiologist I knew who actually got the hospital operator to overhead page Dr. Craven Moorehead. We have no such doctor of course but she didn't get the joke.
The rest of us did and we were hysterical.
Does all poop have e coli? If it doesn't, it would depend on your own personal but, I guess.
poopertrooper, it took guts to admit how you cut your butt.
_______.....hugging bunnies since 1969 www.daphneszoo.com
Daphne.......you can read all about it at http://www.textbookofbacteriology. net/e.coli.html.....but the answer is yes. all warm blooded animals have e-coli in their intestines. The site says humans are usually cultured with the bacteria within 40 hours of birth.
Thank you daphne. I'm glad I'm not going to get e coli or some other fecal-related disease._______I will never shit somewhere that only has that horrible, scratchy brand of toilet paper. That stuff sucks!
Whoever/however my comment explaining the cut got edited, thank you!!! :D_______I will never shit somewhere that only has that horrible, scratchy brand of toilet paper. That stuff sucks!
I should have mentioned above that there are different types of e-coli bacteria. A good analogy would be, if your back yard were infested with cats it would be better to have tabbies and calicos rather than lions and leopards.
Green Pooper Trooper,
I wouldn't be too worried then. While the washroom is a haven for bacteria, the vast majority being fecal coliforms, the bugs that you will find have already made their way through that particular orifice.
Make sure the wound is clean. If it continues to bleed see a doctor. A doctor is more knowledgeable then a forum of poop fanatics. I can't stress this enough, doctors have seen shit worse then what you have. Shame and embarrassment aren't an excuse, unless you are willing die from embarrassment. :-)
With respect to E.coli, every mammal has their own particular strain of the bacteria. It is a beneficial little bug. It is when you get a foreign strain that you get the troubles. For example, bovine E.coli or strain 0157:H7 produces a toxin that does nasty things to your digestive tract. Hamburger poisoning. Salmonella, the fowl cousin of E.coli, does pretty much the same thing.
It's starting to heal, so I don't think I have any worries. Yay! :D_______I will never shit somewhere that only has that horrible, scratchy brand of toilet paper. That stuff sucks!
Sooner or later, most or all of us will get anal fissures, hemorrhoids, or other anal lesions, mostly small and temporary. There are lots of over-the-counter medications for such a condition. The ones I'm acquainted with are supposed to heal the wound, not sterilize it; the assumption seems to be that your own poop is the only poop that will pass by that wound, and you've already been exposed to the bacteria in your own poop. So wipe well, wash your anus well when showering, and do your best to heal the wound, and you should be fine. If it continues to bleed or hurt for more than a few days, see the doctor.
Um, yeah. What MSG said.
I don't think the poop can harm you on its way out! _______Rock-n-roll! Poopy-poo!
I've cut my anus before too... from shaving! It hurt.
I didn't get any infections, though.
I hate hair down there... ugh!
Why a razor when there are chemicals you can apply! Unless of course Link from the Mod Squad has his head up your ass.
I can't answer, because I am actually just flabbergasted you enjoyed that over adjected faggoty waste of paper romance novel Twilight. I mean god, I wouldn't wipe my ass with the pages of that book! And I've wiped my ass with leaves! Sweetie, why don't you read some actual literature? You'd be pleasantly surprised--actual writers don't sound like they've swallowed the thesarus--or at least the pages with synonyms for "attractive" and "yellow."
Oh no you didn't!!! OH HELL NO!!! VAMPIRES KICK ASS!!! AND TWILIGHT HAS MADE 202 MILLION...so far. The UK premire is today. Stephenie Meyer is the greatest author EVER!!! And Carlisle is god!!! (Yeah, Edward's described as an angel, and God makes angels, Carlisle created Edward...you see what I mean)_______Peace, Love, Twilight.
Stephanie Meyer is hardly the best author ever. Probably more around the worst. And just because a bunch of high-school age fangirls wanted to see Edward cum all over himself in high definition doesn't mean it was a good movie, and that's why it sold well. I don't deny that vampires kick ass. REAL vampires kick ass. They don't sparkle in the sunlight and prance around ripping people's limbs off.
I'm not getting into a Twilight debate here. Twilight series kicks every other books ass, end of story._______Peace, Love, Twilight.
Sorry there my child. Mine kicks Twilight's fucking ass.
Jesus
Debatable, because your book warns against vampires._______Peace, Love, Twilight.
someone drive a stake through this and kill it now. For the Love of Jebus Chrisp make it stop!!!_______Oops I did it again, I shit when I fart, I crapped in my pants.
WTF? We're joking around MMC, chill out. No need to get your knickers in a twist. (No I'm not English, I've been typing fanfiction all day, and it's screwing with my brain)_______Peace, Love, Twilight.
er, actually, I agree with Faculty. I got twilight out of the bookstore the other day and I have to say the main characters really just irritated me, the romance is not really believeable at all. I think alice, jasper--all of the non MAIN characters were the best characters in the book. plus I thought the plot was kind of hollow coz the author didn't even bother to follow through on her own rules for vampires. I'm not saying it's like the worst books ever, like Faculty said and the romance was cute at times but it's definitely not like the best series ever, I've read better books and I think you shouldn't try to tell people what the best books ever are, Leandra, and everyone else, don't insult her books just coz you're not a fan yourself. books are personal things and everyone will have diff opinions on them. Sorry I'm sorta late putting in my two cents but there they are. :)
Alice and Jasper kick ass, and so does Carlisle!!! Twilight series=best series ever!!! (I feel like a 5 year old for what I'm about to type, but...) so there!_______Peace, Love, Twilight.
And you really just prove my point by having no other argument except "so there." You know you can't defend Twilight to me, because you have no ground to stand on. There is no possible literary arguement you could use. And I'm sorry if I'm "insulting your book series", but it's time you realized that there is far better literature out there than Twilight. And if you don't realize it, your life won't be as enriched with imagination and culture as it would be if you accepted better writing, and I feel sorry for you.
If you want proof of why I don't like it, and a logical argument--here: Bad writing, overuse of words. Instead of fleshing out the characters, she uses a huge number of adjectives to overcompensate for her inability to describe. The characters make bad decisions, are bad role models to teens, are unlikeable. Edward is a Gary Stu and Bella is a Mary Sue. Their romance is hardly believeable, it is lust, not love, and gives young girls the wrong idea about what a relationship SHOULD be and IS. The plot lacks detail, contradicts itself, and oftentimes makes no sense. SMeyers doesn't bother to create plot ties and foreshadowing, she just leaps through her story with wild abandon. She doesn't follow her own rules for vampires, werewolves, or other creatures. She clearly does not know the finer points of writing and story telling. The entire thing reads like one long fanfiction, and is hard to stomach. Edward and Bella's relationship is overperfect, lacks realism. Edward is posessive of Bella and wants to "own" her instead of wanting to be her partner in life; Bella lusts after Edward in an unhealthy way. Overall, the books are irritating, not well thought out, and are an embarrassment to the "vampire" genre.
Dude, what were YOU reading when you were 16? LC's infatuation with Twilight is normal, and fine, she'll discover more and better prose as she grows older. If, as your handle implies, are a faculty member, (teacher?) you should be encouraged by the very fact that this girl loves to read any damn thing. She shared her SAT scores with us in the forums, and she could have lied about them, I suppose, but I don't get that vibe from her, she's well read, highly intelligent, and most of all, a teenager. Let her be one. _______ The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough.
"So there" (hiding behind you know who)
Back to topic: A recent bout of the Norovirus, during which I lost 11 pounds in one night due to diarrhea, pointed out how important handwashing is. After the second day of diarrhea (not so frequent by then), my anus was getting quite sore, and I was seeing occasional light red bloodstains on the paper. I knew my poop was toxic, so I made sure (weak as I was) to wash hands as well as I could. Each day I also MADE myself stand up long enough to take a shower, using antiseptic soap on my anus and surrounding areas. It took most of a week, but I did get over it; however, I am still very careful to wash as thoroughly as I can. The bloody spots went away as soon as the b.m.'s dropped to one or two a day.
she's well read and highly intelligent? says who. she could ttly be lying. i lie on the internet all the time. i take back saying faculty shouldn't disagree w/ her, i think he/she should, coz it's a lame excuse to say "at least she's reading." is that what the world is coming to that we are grateful for ppl to read books even if they only read them coz they want to do edward? srsly ppl we could do much better... i reserve rewarding ppl for when they actually read some good literature... instead of being instant gratification and praising them for doing something if they didn't do they should be given a good wallop.
Actually, BilgePump, I myself am fifteen years old. My username is totally random. What am I reading at the moment? Well, I won't say I'm reading any classical literature with a Fog Index of 30, but yes, my reading material greatly outstrips Twilight, thank you. I wouldn't go around giving out gold stars for reading at a third grade level.
By the way, I've loved reading since I could read, and many of my friends love reading, too. We read and exchange ideas on good literature. So your "at least she reads" argument holds no water. It barely holds shit.
um lol i dont get y u woud hate twilyght its really sweet & edward is soooo hawt lol. any1 who doen't like it is just mean lol jk but srsly its a good series
The silence is deafening. Bilge would you like to take it from here?
What's the point in arguing with a kid who has a closed mind? Because, as he sees it, what he does is what all should do, and if they don't they are inferior. Some high school senior will show the valuable lesson of the school of hard knocks. _______ The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough.
Oh, great argument, really. You know I've made a better point so you insist that I'm ignoring the finer points of your argument and tell me I'm going to have the sense knocked into me. Well I've got news for you, dude, I've got more sense than some adults and many people my age and I'm sticking to what I think, because I know I'm right in this case. And if I ever happen to be wrong, then yes, you'd hear a big fat apology from me. But I know I'm correct on this point, so I'll close the file and let your brain grow stagnant as you continue to think that everyone is being stubborn but you.
lol...I'm not entirely sure what your point was, with all your literary chest beating, but I will say this for you, I am glad, and happily surprised that a young person like you and your friends, and Leandra, for that matter, do read, and read alot, what ever it may be. I hope you continue to do so, I run into so many young people, and way too goddamn many older folks, who can't or just don't, and thats sad. _______ The proper order is kiss me, then go smell the other dog or cat's butt. I cannot stress this enough.
First off, Anonymous, the only true indication we have of who you are on the internet is what you say and how you say it. What you've told us with your post is that you lie about yourself on the internet, suggesting that you have no problem being dishonest, and that you aren't in any position to judge anyone else about their reading habits/intelligence because you can't spell.
And you, Facultypoe, your comments are worth reading because they remind me not to judge so harshly. You can amass a great deal of knowledge in high school about literature, math, science, and whatever else you study; but if you don't tend to the social skill of communicating with others without alienating them, then all the knowledge in the world isn't going to get you as far as it could otherwise. It's nice to be nice.
Wow...an argument over Twilight and reading. How random. And, edwardluva, it's people like you who make people like Faculty hate peopple who love the books. (PS: Edward fucks everything up, I hate him) Stephenie Meyer took all 4 top spots on multiple bestseller lists, and no author...EVER has done that. The movie is currently at over 305 million...I'm too bored to keep arguing. Guys, it doesn't matter. Let asshole F keep spouting whatever they want, they're always going to be wrong, and I actually haven;t seen them comment on anything other than this thread (Off-topic multiple times a reason for banning?)_______Peace, Love, Twilight.
I'm reading through the comments again, this is just ridiculous. (Anon: Do Edward? Fuck that, edward needs to die painfully, multiple times) And...I'm too lazy to keep typing, I want to go read Lucky You now, which doesn't use as much energy as typing (I skipped school today, I'm being lazy today :D) soo, I shall leave FP to his/her banter. (PS: Just finished Wuthering Heights, Bella made an awesome choice in reading)_______Peace, Love, Twilight.
