Safety is extremely important especially in the bathroom

In Albuquerque, the heat can really make our day to day activities more stressful than they appear and taking a bath at the end of a long and hot day makes for an easy way to unwind. But why do they say that, if left unchecked, potential dangers are waiting in the little four corners of our bathrooms? Take this New York Times article:

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, every year about 235,000 people over age 15 visit emergency rooms because of injuries suffered in the bathroom, and almost 14 percent are hospitalized.

More than a third of the injuries happen while bathing or showering. More than 14 percent occur while using the toilet.

Injuries increase with age, peaking after 85, the researchers found. But injuries around the tub or shower are proportionately most common among those ages 15 to 24 and least common among those over 85. People over 85 suffer more than half of their injuries near the toilet.
