At Least It's Not "Kitchen Sink Gangrene"

As if I don't have enough to worry about regarding my kids, now I have to worry about toilet seat dermatitis.

It's not, as the name implies, a dermatitis on the toilet seat, but rather a dermatitis you get from a toilet seat. It's not just dirty seats that cause this problem, a skin irritation, but also wooden seats and the chemicals used to clean them. It's suggested that you replace your wooden toilet seat, even though I don't think I've ever seen one and didn't know you could still buy one.

I'm pretty careful when it comes to Number Two. I always line the seat with a paper towel, making sure (as most public restrooms warn) not to flush them down the toilet. I never use the flimsy toilet liner, mainly because I like a warm seat, and that glorified tissue paper doesn't cut it.

Currently, Jackson has no problem taking a dump in a public place, whether it's a Barnes & Noble, Stop & Shop, or Nassau Coliseum, but I have to be vigilant to ensure he's not sitting on a seat that's been pissed on or worse.
