POOP
( shit, excrement, feces, DOO DOO)

So what makes this "SHIT" so BAD? lets examine

first what is POOP made of?
About 3/4 is made out of water. And 1/3 is made out of composed dead bacteria.

SO what makes it so deadly?
Unlike urine, poop comes out loaded with bacteria. A gram of feces containes 10 million viruses. At least 50 communicable diseases like Cholera, Meningitis, Tyhoid and others.

To give you a perspictive of how deadly it is. Diarrhea trails only pneumonia as the biggest killer of small children in the world.

The most common ways that people get sick thanks to excrement is bad sanitation habits. Not flushing, or washing your hands is bad and also scratching your butt with out wiping your self properly. Also poor cooking conditions were feces is close by is big and just plain been close to outhouses, places where people do there duty is bad.

The good news is that with basic sanitaion and good disposal of human excreta we can reduce this signifacantly. Health economists reckon that every dollar invested in sanitation can save $7 on health costs and lost productivity.

SO GUYS NEXT TIME YOUR IN THE BATHROOM WASH YOUR GOOD DAMN HANDS YOU MAY SAVE A LIVE.

OHH and here is a fun fact: Pinworms are parasities who depend on people eating poop to keep the population alive.The females emerge from the anus at night to lay their eggs. Their activity makes the anal area itch. The person scratches the itch (often doing so in his sleep), procuring a small amount of fecal matter and eggs under his fingernails, and then puts his fingers in his mouth. And it is said that everyone has pinworms. They harmless but if you want to know if you have them get someone to gently touch around your anal area with Scotch tape while you are sleeping. The worms will stick to the tape and you'll be able to see them.

Failing to see how a thread about excrement is relevant to self-improvement in any way, shape or form.

You may have missed the facts but simple influenza has killed and will kill more people than any of those ever will including war. unless of course we destroy ourselves, then that will be us as the biggest killers.

I'm also with kris, can you edit that to specify the relevance?
