Yeah, why is that if you wipe to vigorously and get scratches around your butthole, it doesn’t get infected by all the poop ?

    Yeah I’ve since googled it too! The fact that the symptoms are something where it’s obvious there’s something severely wrong and that it’s treatable in hospital reassured me, too. I’ve also realised that it’s similar to toxic shock from a tampon, which I never worry about, but am glad to know is a small possibility. Sorry to worry you/gross you out though!
