Spitting in the streets spreads disease

modo
By modo

Not only is it a discusting habit it spreads disease. TB is on the increase and this is a major way of it spreading. The spit drys up and the germs are carried through the air and on the soles of shoes. Folk take their shoes off before entering a house, but they dont when going to hospitals to visit or in food shops. Think about when you drop something on the street and then pick it up, yuk. It is against the law in a lot of coutries, why not here!

and I do mean anyone, spits near me or my Children when I am out and about, is getting bitch-slapped, end of story. It serves no medical purpose, DOES spread disease, and above all annoys me tremendously.

Dont say I never issued a warning.

if you are licking spit on grounds, you got psychological problems.

In this modern world, internet is the great equalizer.

I knew it!!! I said in a previous post that there was a law against this. I know that 6 years ago or so there was a big problem with guys spitting this swayka (kinda like chewing tobacco) juice in the street. Was hard to enforce. Tell your friends to make sure the guy was actually police and not someone stealing money off him.

Kissing also is more dangerous than spitting!

I think if TB is on the go it is more airborn from people coughing, it drying up and the disease becoming airborn is the least probably way of it spreading. Generally if you dont eat the spit or put it on on y open wounds you should be ok. If you walk around licking spit off the ground and rubbing it into your wounds you got bigger problems.
