The title, Captain Ca-Ca, carries with it certain responsibilities, the principal obligation to make inquiries into as broad a spectrum of questions bearing upon the reality of pooh as possible. Over the last several weeks, we've considered pooh from any number of perspectives, among them, interviewing experts about
pooh, appraising extract of bat pooh as a possible treatment for ulcerative colitis, establishing pooh-related standards for remission, etc. But we have as yet to look into the question of splash retardants, an important aspect of one's toilet when the avoidance of casual infection is of importance to the ulcerative colitis patient.
Can it be denied that in a flare the ulcerative colitis sufferer has little choice when it comes to bath rooms, particularly when away from home? Urgency makes a trifle of our concerns about
the sanitary status of the facilities we use. But how to avoid casual infection in such circumstances. Are the commonly provided seat papers alone enough to inspire confidence? I'd think not. What about
the consequences of a good bloody spash when in a hurry? Do we risk infection from splashed-up bowl water and, if we do, what can we do about
it? Introducing Captain Ca-Ca's Splash Guards, a new concept in personal hygiene, and they're free! If you can manage it time-wise, place several pieces of toilet paper in the water in such a way that they float before sitting down. A favorite design of mine, the cross-hatch, has the paper in the form of an + with the leading edge touching dry porcelain in front for added support. Think about
how vulnerable you felt when the last ploop from a good dump resulted in a wet touche. Had enough?
