First of all, the environment of the toilet is relatively humid, which is conducive to the growth of bacteria. Escherichia coli, in particular, will attach to many places, including floors, toilet walls and waste paper baskets. After we enter the toilet, even if we don't defecate, many bacteria are attached to our bodies.

Some people like to play mobile phones and read books when they go to the toilet. In this way, many bacteria in the toilet will attach to the mobile phone and the page, and the bacteria have strong reproductive ability. When our body's resistance is low, these Escherichia coli will cause human diseases.

If we don't wash our hands after defecation, it may lead to inflammation of our eyes, because a large number of Escherichia coli and other pathogenic bacteria will inevitably attach to our hands after defecation. When our eyes feel uncomfortable, rubbing our eyes with dirty hands will cause inflammation of the conjunctiva or cornea of our eyes.

If we don't wash our hands after defecation, it may lead to intestinal inflammation. Because after defecation, parasites, Escherichia coli and other microorganisms will attach to our hands. If we eat food with bacteria and other microorganisms in our hands, these microorganisms will enter our intestines, causing us to suffer from intestinal parasites or other intestinal diseases.

If you don't wash your hands after defecation, you may get bacterial pneumonia, because some people have the habit of picking their noses, and when they pick their noses, they will inevitably pick off their nose hair together. Nose hair can protect our bodies and prevent dust from entering our bodies. If you don't have nose hair and touch your face with dirty hands after defecation, these bacteria will enter the lungs through your nostrils and continue to multiply. When the resistance is low, it is easy to get bacterial pneumonia.

Some people have long nails. Although beautiful, there are many bacteria in the gap between fingernails and fingers, especially those who don't wash their hands after defecation. Bacteria in nails will increase. When we use our fingers, ears, nostrils or touch other parts of the body, these bacteria may infect the human body. Some people have the habit of pulling out their ears with their nails. If they don't wash their hands after defecation, they may bring shit into their ears after pulling out their ears.

If we don't wash our hands after defecation, we may infect others with bacteria on our hands, because we often turn over books and hold coins in our hands.

In order to ensure our health, we should form the good habit of washing our hands before and after meals.
