...lol!... I'm happy that I cheered you up qtkt... it's more like a mild sting now with a little itch to keep it company... I guess it'll' be alright by the time I go to bed... (plus... I may have to invest in a couple of rum toddy's to lull me into a nice slumber methinks lol!)... thanks for your concern... cheers.
 
OH MY GOSH @Mr Stickyfingers what an ordeal! Haha. What a crafty little bugger.
I can imagine the pain. That general region can be a little sensitive. I was once applying dencorub to my thigh muscle and was wearing 'loose' fitting boxers. A slight brush up against my right side boy and wowsers. The pain was excruciatingly intense. Lol! Lol!

25 Unexpected Things That Are Dirtier Than Your Toilet

It seems that the toilet has gotten a bad rap. We all shun it as the dirtiest part of the house when in reality there are a lot of supposedly clean places that are exponentially filthier. These are 25 unexpected things that are dirtier than your toilet.

Ice

Restrooom floors

Our mobile devices can have 10 times more bacteria than toilet seats…and they’re always touching our faces. Would you wipe the inside of your toilet bowl with your cheek?

These babies actually have a lot more poop smeared on them than your toilet does. Raw meat apparently carries a very high level of fecal bacteria.

18
Toothbrushes

When you flush your toilet the germs can travel up to 6 feet and linger for up to 2 hours. A lot of them end up on toothbrushes. So how is your toilet cleaner than your brush if that’s where the germs come from? Stick around to find out!

17
Carpets

17-610x360.jpg

With 200,000 bacteria per square inch, carpets are 4,000 times dirtier than a toilet seat. Humans shed 1.5 million skin cells every hour which helps feed the bacteria in carpets.

16
Refrigerator

Door knobs

Forget the toilet, TODAY reported not long ago how your sink could easily be dirtier than your entire bathroom.

It seems that the toilet has gotten a bad rap. We all shun it as the dirtiest part of the house when in reality there are a lot of supposedly clean places that are exponentially filthier. These are 25 unexpected things that are dirtier than your toilet.

Dead skins cells, dust mites, fungal spores, pollens, and other body secretions are all floating around in the place you stick your head at night.

Did you know that after 10 years your mattress will nearly double in weight thanks to the number of dust mites and dust mite poop that it has collected?

Pet food bowl

EDIT:... being that you can only post so many images in one post the rest is continued in the next post... cheers.

Money

Bank notes can have up to 200,000 bacteria. It’s a good idea to wash your hands after directly handling cash.

5
Draperies

5-610x360.jpg

Magnets for pet fur, mold, dander, debris, and dust mites, these things just sit there unsuspectingly soaking it all up.

4
Showerheads

4-610x360.jpg

You’d think the water coming out of the spicket designed to clean your body would actually be clean right? Well apparently the warm, dark, and moist insides of shower heads are perfect breeding grounds for bacteria

3
Handbag

3-610x360.jpg

Notoriously dirty, they usually contain your phone, money, and other things that after reading this list should give you an idea of why you want to clean your handbag.

2
Kitchen sponges

2-610x360.jpg

In nearly every part of the world this is notoriously the dirtiest thing in the house. With 10 million bacteria per square inch your kitchen sponge is nearly a quarter of a million times dirtier than your toilet seat. Having absorbed the fecal matter of everything from humans to cows as well as a multitude of other much more terrifying bacteria we would highly recommend that you change your sponge…like right now.

So how is the toilet so clean?
1-610x360.jpg

It’s pretty simple really…we actually clean the toilet. Because we generally think of the toilet as being dirty we clean it with all sorts of chemicals. Toothbrushes, kitchen sponges, and cell phones on the other hand are cleaned rarely, if at all.
