Personal Hygiene
The human body can provide places for disease-causing germs and parasites to grow and
multiply. These places include the skin and in and around the openings to the body. It is
less likely that germs and parasites will get inside the body if people have good personal
hygiene habits.

The toilet, like the bathroom, is a humid area of the house due to the amount of water in
the cistern. A toilet is also a perfect place for germs and bacteria to breed. Bacteria’s like
E-coli, Salmonella and much more can mostly be found in the toilet bowl. These bacteria’s
are also found on the toilet seat, the floor, the flush and the door handle. Bacteria in the
toilet absorb organic waste and release gases which is the reason why we get a foul odor in
the toilets. Hence toilet hygiene is very important.
