Discover the terrifying truth about these strange 'tiny marks' on public bathroom toilet paper!
- Replies 31
The next time you visit a public restroom, look more closely at the innocent-looking white tissue paper.
There might be a terrifying truth hiding on the toilet paper disguised as tiny red marks.
People have been alerted to this little-known danger after a stern warning was issued on social media by a user named Dane Jones—the video has now been viewed a whopping 8.5 million times.
Jones captioned the video with 'Share this with family friends, it could save their [lives]!' and shared a picture of a toilet roll with tiny pinpricks on it.
In the video, he revealed that the small indents were made by drug users who were using the public restroom to clean off their needles—a process that would leave a few drops of their blood on the tissue paper.
'If your toilet paper looks like this in a public restroom you need to get out as fast as possible,' he said.
'If you look closely you will see a bunch of tiny red blood splotches. That is not from someone's bloody nose or little accident.'
'It's from someone cleaning their needles—dirty needles to be exact.
'We don't know if this was one person or multiple people cleaning their needles from injecting drugs.'
This could put anyone who came into contact with the tissue at risk of contracting a lifelong virus such as HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C or Hepatitis B.
'Keep in mind if you are using this toilet paper to clean yourself, all it takes is one tiny drop of blood to enter your system.'
Explaining further, Jones quoted statistics and said that one out of 300 workers accidentally stuck with a needle from someone with HIV gets infected.
However, the odds of contracting Hepatitis B could be as high as one in three if the worker has not been vaccinated.
'It's just really sad to see public restrooms being used as a cleaning place for people's dirty needles,' he said.
'With that said, if you do see a toilet paper roll that looks like this in a public restroom, notify the staff immediately to have it replaced and stay as far away as you can from it,' Jones concluded.
His revelation left viewers stunned with one saying: 'This is my sign to never use public toilet tissue again.'
'Thank you for this good information,' another added.
While a third said: 'New fear unlocked.'
'Be safe out there!' A fourth said.

Additional Health Risks Found in Public Restrooms
Public restrooms undoubtedly pose a variety of health risks, some of which are obvious, while others are subtle yet potentially damaging. Below are additional health hazards lurking in public toilets that can equally put your health in jeopardy.
Unsettlingly, researchers have identified harmful bacteria such as E.coli, streptococcus, and staphylococcus residing on various surfaces in public restrooms. These common bacterial strains can cause skin infections, urinary tract infections, and even the deadly MRSA (Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), a strain that's impervious to many commonly used antibiotics.
Moreover, these microbes aren't contained to just the toilet seats or handles. Did you know that the air in public bathrooms isn't truly clean either? Every time a toilet is flushed, it creates a phenomenon known as 'toilet plume', wherein tiny droplets are sprayed into the air, carrying bacteria and viruses up to ten feet away!
To combat these unseen enemies, good hygiene practices are crucial. Regular hand washing, carrying personal wipes and sanitising sprays can go a long way in minimising the risks.
Additionally, being wary and avoiding obvious signs of uncleanliness, such as dirty floors, rubbish spillage, and tiny needle pinpricks on toilet paper rolls, can help ensure your health is not compromised.
