A member asked:
A piece of wet clothing fell on the floor, and i quickly picked it up and hung it up with my other clothes. will bacteria get onto it? a health hazard?

No concern: What you described is not a cause for concern. If the item was hung in the sun, that would more or less sterilize it. Even if it was not in the sun drying is likely to neutralize any bacteria. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
