Can I sit on a "hot chair" that others have sat on? Contagious diseases?
I still remember when I was a child, my mother always said: "How many times have I told you, don't sit on the hot chair that someone else has just sat on! Why don't you listen!"
Not to mention children, many adults don’t understand the reason.
From what others have said, they all say: "Sitting on a hot chair will cause hemorrhoids", "Sitting on a public toilet will cause you to get sick", are these scary rumors true?
In fact, we don’t need to worry too much. The truth is not that scary. Are the “hot chairs” that others have sat on really dirty?
In the environment of high humidity and heat in summer, bus seats, outdoor public seats, etc. are inherently breeding grounds for bacteria. In order to keep cool, people like to wear short skirts and shorts to expose their flesh.
In this way, body fluids, sebum and bacteria can easily remain on the seat where you have been sitting. If there is direct contact, it will be really dirty.
Can "hot chairs" that others have sat on spread diseases?
1. Sitting on someone else's "hot chair" will not cause infectious diseases.
Sexually transmitted diseases are common, such as gonorrhea, syphilis, genital herpes, AIDS, etc. The main transmission routes are: sexual intercourse, blood and mother-to-child transmission.
The probability of infection through contact is extremely low because:
It is difficult for pathogens to survive after leaving the human body;
It requires a sufficient number of infectious and highly active pathogens.
Just taking a bus or subway, and the pathogens you are exposed to are not enough to cause illness;
People who are exposed to pathogens may become infected if their skin and mucous membranes are damaged and exposed to the pathogen at the same time, and their own immunity is low.
The probability of meeting the above three conditions may be more difficult than winning the lottery.
2. You won’t get hemorrhoids if you sit on someone else’s “hot chair”.
First, hemorrhoids are not contagious;
Secondly, constipation, long-term drinking, eating a lot of irritating foods and sitting for long periods of time are the main causes of hemorrhoids.
3. Sitting on someone else's "hot chair" may cause urethritis.
I would like to remind female friends here that if you can't sit on a hot chair, try not to sit on it, because it is very likely to cause urethritis! Women's urethra is naturally shorter, and the urethral opening is near the perineum, which makes women's protection of the urinary system somewhat congenital. Compared with men, women are more likely to be invaded by bacteria outside the body.
If women often sit in hot chairs, they may suffer from urinary system infections due to heat evaporating on the perineum and poor heat dissipation, resulting in increased sweat and secretions.
Therefore, on buses or subways, it is best for female friends not to rush to sit on the empty seats left by others. It is not too late to wait until the bench is no longer so warm.
There is a kind of "hot chair" that is terrible:
Compared with the "hot chair" that others have sat in, the other kind of "hot chair" is even scarier! That's a stool burned by the sun!
For example, in the summer, park stone benches, public seats, car seats, electric car seats, etc., have been exposed to the sun in the open air.
The surface temperature of these objects is too high, which can easily cause heatstroke and skin burns. It is best to wait until the surface has completely cooled before sitting on it.
