toxic chairs

[panicattack247]

we used to have these blue chairs with a vinyl like covering that we bought second hand.

I used to sit on them without pants on. and now i am worried that i could of gotten sick somehow sitting on the dirty chairs bare.

I think maybe a better answer would be to explain to me what type of illnesses i could receive from everyday contact things like this and what the most severe is. Coz i am constantly getting worried about dying or turning into a vegetable or going blind after coming into contact with things, coz im not really aware of the extect of disease, cancers, infections etc that you can get from everyday activities such as this and many of the other worries i come up with

You don't get 'toxic chairs', people sit on chairs (vinyl or otherwise) every day of their lives - in shops, surgeries, buses, colleges and they don't get ill from them. We've talked about this before, but to repeat, your skin is designed to stop infection...it is a fantastic barrier.

Even, in the extraordinarly unlikely (almost impossible event) that the previous owner had an infectious illness, you'd have to had transfered those 'germs' to yourself within minutes as they would die within a short time. Even if you had sat on the chairs withing minutes of someone throwing up on them or sneezing on them, you'd have had to transfer those germs via your hands to your mouth/face.

I think you need to realise that the world is full of 'germs/bacteria', they are necessary. We need them to continue life processes. It is also necessary that we build up immunity to things by coming into contact with them.

In my view, it is entirely impossible that you could have caught anything from some second hand chairs. I know this has been said before, but your H A is out of control and you should go back and request specialist assistance with your fears.

none! there are no illnesses that can be caught from sitting on a chair. x

Chairs are NOT toxic.

No sickness that you can get just by sitting pants off in a chair. Maybe there is a danger of contacting with
germs or bacteria but you should aware that our surrounding is full of germs and it is part of daily to encounter germs..
It may seem clean but it doesn't totally seem that way because of the presence of germs.

Definitely not, hon. Even in the VERY unlikely event there was anything harmful on the chair, your skin is amazing at keeping stuff out :)

so nothing would be able to get into my body through my bottom hole or my willy hole? even if there was some kind of disease, sorry im very naive.

Without wishing to be mean - you do KNOW the answer to this. You've brought this exact question up quite a few times, and people have reassured you. I think you need to work on reassuring yourself, and telling yourself the answer.


sorry im very naive.This isn't about naivety. I don't intend for this to seem cruel..... I know you are young, but you are not naive about this. You have been given the knowledge from a number of posters here, a few times, about how and if you can be affected by illness in this way. This is actually about the fact that your mind is refusing to accept the facts you have been given; as you are so incredibly anxious and therefore illogical about your fear. I've said it before, but will say it again, you need medical assistance relating to your specific anxiety.

Just don't wee in the Amazon river and you will be fine.

Please excuse me if i appear rude but we have answered your questions time and time again. None of us are medical experts here. We are all fellow anxiety sufferers. Obviously our advice is not easing your mind so i think it would be best if you contacted your GP or sexual health orginisation.
