It's recommended to wash them every 3-6 months - more if you sweat a lot, have pets, eat in bed, drool (yes a majority of humans do), etc.

One of the major topics in medical science today is about "Bodyoids."

These are human bodies born in artificial wombs, that are not conscious used to harvest their organs to make up for the tremendous shortage of organs for people who need transplants, to get stem cells from, to harvest for their body parts and to do research on instead of using animals.

It's the stuff of science fiction movies but we might not be too far away from being able to make it a reality.

The question is should we?

Is it a good idea? Or is it a bad idea?

Tbh sanitizers in medical facilities are just so mind numbingly counter productive it defies logic. Why would you create super bugs among the most vulnerable patients?

And This should probably be on my take but, Parents keeping their kids sanitized is child abuse! THEY NEED TO GET DIRTY! They need to develop their OWN effective immune system!! Stop it! Let em get filthy!!

Lastly, FINISH YOUR RX!! Future generations are NOT going to have effective antibiotics if we don't start finish the prescribed regimen!!

WebMD:

A small amount of dribbling after urinating, also known as post-micturition dribble (PMD), is a common phenomenon, especially as men age, and is often considered normal.

Why it happens:

Urethral muscle relaxation: The muscle that controls urine flow in the urethra relaxes after urination, sometimes allowing trapped urine to leak out.

Prostate size: As men age, the prostate gland can enlarge, potentially affecting the urethra and leading to PMD.

Pelvic floor muscles: Strong pelvic floor muscles can sometimes trap urine, leading to dribbling after urination.

When to seek medical advice:

While PMD is often normal, it's important to consult a doctor if the dribbling is excessive, accompanied by other symptoms like pain, burning, or difficulty urinating, or if it significantly impacts daily life.

Harvard Med school:

Many men dribble urine shortly after they have finished using the toilet and the bladder feels empty. Even waiting a moment and shaking the penis before zipping up won't stop it. The medical term for this is post-micturition dribbling. It's common in older men because the muscles surrounding the urethra — the long tube in the penis that allows urine to pass out of the body — don't squeeze as hard as they once did. This leaves a small pool of urine at a dip in the urethra behind the base of the penis. In less than a minute after finishing, this extra urine dribbles out.

Though dribbling after urination is more likely to affect men, women get it, too. A study conducted in 1997 reported that the prevalence of post-void dribbling in women was 30% to 50%. Depending on the age group, the highest prevalence is among women aged 65 to 74.
