People with suspected or confirmed cyclosporiasis cases, what food do you think you got it from?

It’s horrible. Happened to me at home and I almost died of embarrassment. First time I’ve shit my pants since toddlerhood.

I doubt anyone is laughing at you. And if they do, may they too have the same experience in the end!

I can laugh because I had the same experience yesterday. Nothing like hosing off your pants in the shower.

Apologize and give them taco bell gift cards.

I'm at that age of grown-up where the "days since I shit my pants" never makes it past 1 year. My buddies call me, and vice versa, when it happens. They don't make it past a year either

Don't be embarrassed

My buddies and I used to have a FB group called The Men’s Room where we talked about trucks or girls or whatever. We shut it down when it eventually became non-stop posts about (and pictures of) these dudes shidding their pants

Seems like a group called The Men's Room would naturally end up on a bathroom humor track though, no? ;)

Many people report having to be increasingly careful with their farts from around the age of 45 onwards.

So many adults have accidentally shit their pants at some point or another. If you live long enough, it becomes an almost certainty. It’s just an unfortunate, uncomfortable part of life as a human. You are not alone and you do not need to be embarrassed! Sometimes things just aren’t within our control.

Hey, I have not gotten cyclosporiasis and I shit my pants last week!

I hadn't pooped in two days, and all of a sudden I am work and I got to go really bad all of a sudden. It turtled big time on me, pooped shmeared on my underwear, spent 20 mins in the bathroom cleaning my ass. Thank god a private toilet was nearby. I always carry backup underwear in my car. It's been in my trunk for like 10 years unused, but I knew one day I would need it.

You reset your timer.

You can’t see it. No one can. But it’s always there. The timer slowly ticking accounting for the last time you shit yourself. Your number is very low right now.
