Discussed at length today of the risk and the dangers of open defecation. First of all, you defecate openly its list of diseases. It can result like cholera. It can result in diarrhea. It can result in an outbreak of cholera in a community. And it can also affect even those around that community, not just cholera. It can result in warm infestation.

When they are done, they flush adequately and they wash their hands and that will be all.
