Bello, who is a consultant in a private facility, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday in Ilorin that sitting on toilet seats for more than 15 minutes was not healthy. ”It has become a norm now for people to enter toilets with their phones which make them sit on the toilet seats for a very long time, it is very wrong. ”In the process of sitting on toilet seats for long, the veins get engorged with blood and the veins eventually start bleeding,” Bello warned. The medical expert added that no matter how clean a toilet appeared to be, it was still an unhygienic place which harbours germs. ”So, it is better to play safe and try to remain healthy,” Bello said.
