<3 this! I’m behind on episodes, but was glad you did this one because I think the coronavirus times may stimulate more health anxiety for some people, so was grateful for this. I was also glad you explained about the “no floss in the toilet” thing! I was wondering what was behind that from other talks you’ve had. Humberto’s tapeworm fear aside, you guys also brought up about it actually being bad to flush because it’s not biodegradable and same with Clorox wipes!? Who knew?? Not only could it cause blockages as mentioned, I feel it could probably accidentally strangle a sewer rat/roach and they deserve happy lives too, for sure 💕 As long as they aren’t up in my home, they deserve happy lives. lol Thanks for making us aware!
