Hi! Not to good with this email/discussion group thing but thought someone
might like to know Re: "MOSS" Sphagnum should be avoided for this it is know to
carry a bacteria {maybe fungus?} that can cause some nasty skin problems in the
sensitive. I gathered moss for awhile and had no problem on hands butt is
another subject.

I'm sorry It was late ,I meant you can use moss as toilet paper Sam


I believe that I have to response to this, before it get out of hand, and I
strongly believe that Steve Ferguson did not mean to insult anybody, I am not
an Arab nor am I a Moslem, but where I came from South East Asia, we always
use our left hand, water and soap, we never ever use toilet paper, in the
third world countries they can not afford to buy those expensive toilet paper,
we never extend our left hand for greetings nor for receiving anything, if you
receive a letter delivered by the mailman with your left hand, it is
considered a big insult.

Well there are always poison ivy leaves..... just kidding. The Romans used
sponges.
If you are Arab, you use your left hand. I would stick to sponges.
