If your parents always told you to close the toilet lid before flushing, they were actually right. And experts say that you should always do this. Usually, after using a western toilet, we flush it and go straight out. A regular part of all our lives, but it is dangerous. Trouble can hit you any time.
According to the report of Daily Mail, scientists from Colorado Boulder University did research on this. It was found that by keeping the toilet lid open while flushing, many dangerous bacteria come in contact with the air. At that time the toilet produces a kind of jet in the air, which can carry particles up to five feet above the bowl. These particles include germs, viruses and bacteria, which can reach you within just 8 seconds. So if you want to avoid infection, you should always close the toilet lid and flush it.

Scientists said, these liquid drops are usually not visible to the naked eye. To see these you will have to use a laser. These contain dangerous germs like E. coli, norovirus, and possibly even coronavirus. These particles can travel out at a speed of 6.6 feet per second, and reach up to 1.5 meters high. The special thing is that the largest droplets stick to the surfaces within seconds, but the lighter particles remain suspended in the air for several minutes. These can escape from the nose hair and reach deep into the lungs and make you sick.
