Toilet-related Injuries and Deaths - Injuries Caused By Animals

Injuries Caused By Animals

There are also injuries caused by animals. Some black widow spiders like to spin their web below the toilet seat because insects abound in and around it. Therefore, several persons have been bitten while using a toilet, particularly an outhouse toilet. Although there is immediate pain at the bite site, these bites are rarely fatal.

It has also been reported that in some cases rats crawl up through toilet soil pipes and emerge in the toilet bowl, so that toilet users may be at risk of being bitten by a rat.

Famous quotes containing the words injuries, caused and/or animals:

    The only thing of weight that can be said against modern honour is that it is directly opposite to religion. The one bids you bear injuries with patience, the other tells you if you don’t resent them, you are not fit to live.
    Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)

    Here’s to five miserable months on the wagon and the irreparable harm that it’s caused me.
    Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)

    Lost at night in an immense forest, I only have a small light to guide me. A man appears who tells me: “My friend, blow out your candle in order to find your way.” This man is a theologian.
    The sea, fluid garden filled with animals and plants.
    Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)
