There are times when caregivers need to have the straight scoop on poop. Are you able to tell the difference among types of backmatter? Early detection could prevent a loved one with dementia from being back-ended by a more serious matter.
After all, who needs the stress of worrying about yet another thing: WHAT is THAT? And wondering: Is THAT the way it’s SUPPOSED to LOOK? Or panicking: That came out of ____!
Andrew Tarantola breaks it down for us – from deer dropping-like pellets that could be mistaken for rabbit food to the liquid mess of fifty revengeful birds over your newly washed car. Somewhere in between constipation and diarrhea, is the ideal.
But how will you know?
You mean we have ta’ look at it?
Yeee-aahh.
Save yourself time analyzing a stinky mess and review this stench-free handy guide based on the Bristol stool scale, featuring seven types of poop. Each type is clearly illustrated with artistically rendered backmatter in this Gizmodo article entitled: What Your Poop Is Trying to Tell You.
After you’re finished, make sure you have plenty of toilet paper on hand for the bottom line.
Of course, if you have a serious concern, please stop laughing and see your doctor!
