Ham aversion continued, with a focus on hygiene issues. This post is inspired by athletic_mathematic's post. In that post, @athletic_mathematic specifies that a ham's lack of hygiene is as much a risk to the general populace as contagious diseases. The pathogen avoidance mechanism we have that contribute to this aversion to obese people is natural and automatic because obesity represents disease; cancer, diabetes, you know the drill. Luckily, most of that list is not contagious, but the response we have still benefits us from was DOES spread; microorganisms. Bacteria and the like spreads majorly by our hands. Everything we touch is covered in fecal matter (even if the object as never seen the inside of a bathroom) for example. That comes from our hands, and is transmitted by our hands. This is why in our society we wash our hands and use soap and hot water to ensure we get rid of any stray bacteria that may cause us or others harm. My assertion is that hams lack hygiene, and while I would extend this to handwashing due to their notorious laziness the lack of bathing is still extremely problematic even if the hams wash their hands after using the toilet, touching dirty objects, touching raw poultry or what have you. Why does ham handwashing not have the same effect as you or I? Simple; their bodies.  I shower regularly, and I can reach all parts of my body. This means my entire body is clean on a regular basis. I'd assume the same for my fellow shitizens. Hams, however, do not shower regularly and cannot reach all parts of their bodies when they do climb into the tub. This means that their bodies, particularly warm, moist areas where bacteria thrives (such as between fat rolls) is a literal biohazard, thriving with harmful microorganisms. If only the microorganisms stayed in those environments.... because those environments itch. And hams scratch. And sweat onto objects such as chairs. And after touching these adipose petri dishes they touch objects around them, without washing their hands, spreading their filth onto the world. Allow me to take a moment for the lurking fatties' benefit, to explain how this is by no means an outlandish stretch of the imagination. As this article describes, there are "on average 67 bacterial phylotypes per belly button" aka 67 different species of bacteria in our belly buttons. This is nothing to say of the number of individual bacterial cells within those species (hint: thousands would be an understatement). The crazy part? That's just a regular human belly button, from any point on the globe. If there is that much bacteria inside the itty bitty belly button of your average human being, shitizens included... Imagine the magnitude of bacteria that would be found in the chasms of a fat body with rolls of skin creating environments nearly identical to a belly button, (folded, protected skin in a warm, moist environment,) only expanded from a dime-size to a surface area like this. It would be unquantifiable.  And it is absolutely harmful. Back to handwashing specifically, the CDC states the following: Handwashing with soap removes germs from hands. This helps prevent infections because: People frequently touch their eyes, nose, and mouth without even realizing it. Germs can get into the body through the eyes, nose and mouth and make us sick. Germs from unwashed hands can get into foods and drinks while people prepare or consume them. Germs can multiply in some types of foods or drinks, under certain conditions, and make people sick. Germs from unwashed hands can be transferred to other objects, like handrails, table tops, or toys, and then transferred to another person’s hands. Removing germs through handwashing therefore helps prevent diarrhea and respiratory infections and may even help prevent skin and eye infections. Teaching people about handwashing helps them and their communities stay healthy. Handwashing education in the community: Reduces the number of people who get sick with diarrhea by 31% Reduces diarrheal illness in people with weakened immune systems by 58%  Reduces respiratory illnesses, like colds, in the general population by 16-21%  See how much impact good hygiene has? Imagine how much impact a ham's poor hygiene has. Here's more from the CDC on how poor hygiene and handwashing habits cause this harm: About 1.8 million children under the age of 5 die each year from diarrheal diseases and pneumonia, the top two killers of young children around the world. Handwashing with soap could protect about 1 out of every 3 young children who get sick with diarrhea and almost 1 out of 5 young children with respiratory infections like pneumonia. You can see (not that you'd need me to tell you) how important hygiene is to our health and to the health of those around us. This is why fat people are such a hazard and a risk to the human populace. They spread more bacteria than normal people because they struggle to clean themselves properly and regularly and therefor cannot rid themselves of the harmful microorganisms that thrives on human skin. NSFL here are some prime examples of bacterial risks and other infections the obese develop due to poor hygiene: Yeast infections such as Candida glabtrata Bacterial infections such as cellulitis (often caused by streptococcus and staphylococcus) or impetigo <--NSFW, nudity and a bit gory (Older adults and people with diabetes are more likely to develop ecthyma, a deeper and more serious form of impetigo.) Many bacteria will thrive in a pre-existing infection such as Intertrigo which is caused by moisture, heat, lack of air circulation, and friction, all of which occur between skin folds. Sweat, urine, and feces can contribute to the skin problem, again, all of which can be found in the unwashed folds of a ham. The last I will mention as I am becoming nauseated just researching this filth (and again, don't open the images if you have a weak stomach), is the laundry list of bacteria that multiplies in the open, necrotic wounds found both in diabetic obeasts and fatties who simply can't keep a rash or suture clean enough to prevent dehiscence and decay. To give you an idea, this is a small example of the microorganisms found in decaying flesh from dead humans. And this website will give you a list of the common microorganisms found on living human bodies that can cause infections if the body is not cleaned properly and regularly. I don't know what else I can say to exemplify the issue of ham hygiene, and the severity it can reach. To bring us back to the main idea of this entire essay of a post (and thank you if you made it this far without leaving to vomit) fat people are a biohazard and our aversion to obeasts is 100% justified, not only due to our natural pathogen avoidance mechanisms, but also due to the real genuine health risks that the obese present to the general public. I would love to hear your thoughts on this issue, shitizens, and what other information you may have to contribute to this disquisition of mine. TL;DR: Hams pose a genuine health risk, able to spread harmful microorganisms to the public due to their lack of hygiene. There is no unjustified stigma behind obesity aversion, and the disgust and desire to avoid obeasts comes from a natural instinct to protect our own health.
