This thing in the bathroom can cause leukemia

Dr. Mangos, a famous American oncologist, pointed out: "Many hygiene products in modern households should be used with caution because they contain carcinogenic chemicals!" In our bathroom, if the following four items come into contact with the skin for a long time, their carcinogenic chemicals are inevitable.

1. Toilet Paper

The first thing Dr. Mangos listed was toilet paper, which people cannot live without every day. He said that toilet paper is mostly recycled paper, and in order to beautify the appearance, most toilet papers are added with dyes, including fluorescent brighteners or talcum powder. The whiter the toilet paper, the more fluorescent brighteners or talcum powder may be added. These additives mostly contain the compound benzene; some poor quality toilet papers also contain formaldehyde, E. coli, hepatitis virus, etc. Long-term contact with skin of these substances may cause leukemia and cancer. Therefore, when buying toilet paper, be sure to choose reliable quality, unbleached toilet paper, and it is better to rinse it with warm water after use.

2. Fragrance

Nowadays, many families like to put a box of air freshener in the bathroom to make the environment fresh and pleasant. Unexpectedly, these scents are also chemical synthetics and may also induce cancer. Dr. Mangos recommends that it is best not to place deodorants in the bathroom. If you want to keep the air fresh, you can open the windows frequently or use an exhaust fan.

3. Disinfectant

Most families use cleaning products such as disinfectant, which are often placed in the corners of the room or in the bathroom. After they evaporate, they often accumulate a large amount of harmful gases. The toxicity is even stronger when taking a hot shower in the bathroom. Some disinfectants also contain dichlorobenzene, which can irritate the respiratory tract, cause cell mutations and induce leukemia, lung cancer, etc. Therefore, these sanitary products should not be piled up in the corners or in the bathroom. It is more appropriate to place them on a drying platform with good ventilation and keep them sealed.

4. Plastic wastebasket

There is also a plastic wastebasket in the bathroom at home. Experts say: Putting a wastebasket in the toilet will greatly increase the rate of bacterial reproduction, turning the bathroom into a virus breeding ground and source of infection. They believe that general paper items can be thrown into the toilet and flushed away with the water; for those sanitary products that are difficult to flush away, you can bring your own convenient bag, take them out of the toilet and throw them into the trash can. This makes the bathroom clean and reduces pollution, and there is no need to place a wastebasket in the toilet. In addition, the shorter the time spent in the toilet, the better. People who like to read books or newspapers here should change this habit.
