| Carrying a wallet in your back pocket can cause sciatica |
Toilet Terrors
Beware that toilet seat! Anahad says that although the odds are quite small: "You can definitely get sick from sitting on a toilet bowl that's filthy. The most likely diseases you'll catch are crabs and anything else transmitted by skin to skin contact."
He points out that medical literature is rife with reports of people catching skin infections like pinworm and roundworm.
Many bacteria cannot survive out in the open but some like gonorrhoea and the herpes virus can survive for around two hours, and hepatitis B which can survive for a week.
On the brighter side those bacteria and viruses are more likely to lurk on taps, flush handles and door knobs especially in women's public bathrooms. So wash your hands after using the toilet!

Carrying a wallet in your back pocket can cause sciatica, with those whose jobs are sedentary, like office workers, truck drivers, taxi drivers, and call centre operators most at risk.
The onset is gradual, caused not only by wallets, but by any object
(like carrying golf balls around) that presses on the piriformis muscle in the buttocks.
This is connected to the sciatic nerve that runs down the leg. If you're developing the condition, you'll find pain radiating down your back and hip area.
The condition has a quick, simple remedy - a 'walletectomy' - carrying your wallet somewhere else.
