China's flesh-eating toilet paper

An article from the Epoch Times last year makes me wonder if I will ever dare go to China, let alone wipe my ass there [1]. "According to the HK Star Daily, the toilet paper samples tested were mainly produced in the cities of Zhongshan, Guandong, JiangMen, and Guangzhou in Guangdong and Jiangsu Provinces. The hygiene index for the toilet paper included total bacteria colony count, as well as amounts of enterococcus, flesh-eating streptococci, and golden staphylococcus."

Flesh-eating?

The article continues to state that "the test results show that the hygiene test failure rate for the samples tested was 37.5%. Moreover, toilet paper sold on the wholesale market and in small stores failed the national sanitation standard, some having six times the accepted bacteria levels."

May I remind you that some of those bacteria are FLESH EATING. So the next time you are in China, remember: when what you ate comes out, some bacteria may start to eat the flesh around from where it came. I highly suggest that all intrepid travelers pack their own Charmin.
