This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues. Using personal digital images, it's also intended to emphasise seasonal (and other) changes in natural history of the Swansea (South Wales) area. The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.

Super Pooper?
Some very basic instruction, by a specialist, on optimal adult defaecation (https://www.theguardian.com/wellness/article/2024/may/13/how-to-poop-correctly). The proctologist, claims you should go to a nearby toilet, when the body signals it's ready to perform. Only thirty seconds to a minute is needed for the act. Straining, can lead to haemorrhoids and other problems. Substantial numbers of people, the specialist maintains, act as if still carrying the scars of childhood 'potty training'. They remain in place for extended periods, until they eventually perform. Taking reading material and/or your mobile, to the toilet with you is a 'no-no'. Post pooping, you certainly shouldn't clean the anus with abrasive paper. But you should carefully wash your hands. In many households, the PC's keyboard is more contaminated with bacteria than is the toilet seat!
