German bathroom manufacturers are developing "multicultural toilets" to help ensure Middle Eastern migrants need not adapt to European sanitation norms.

Interesting insight however the article is a little short on information. I really wanted to know more about the parasites that are being introduced and not just told that we are weak fragile beings.

CW4 (Join to see) - Via the article and a couple clicks (no keyboard involvement) I landed here where it talks about the critter.
Schistosomiasis – which is caused by infection with blood dwelling schistosome flatworms – currently affects hundreds of millions of people every year, often leading to the deaths of thousands to hundreds of thousands of victims. Its impact is so great that some have claimed it is second only to malaria on the scale of devastating parasitic diseases.
Approximately 85 per cent of all human schistosomasis currently occurs in sub-Saharan Africa, but outbreaks have recently been reported on the Mediterranean island of Corsica. People become infected with the parasites when they come into contact with certain types of freshwater snail that produce human-infective stage schistosomes. These parasitic worms rapidly penetrate the skin and develop into adult male and female schistosomes within the blood vessels surrounding the intestines or bladder of infected individuals.
Hundreds to thousands of eggs are produced daily by each female worm. And, once they become trapped in human organs, these eggs induce chronic complications including inflammation, tissue scarring, fluid imbalances, anaemia and, eventually, death. A proportion of eggs that migrate into the intestines or bladder will be released into the environment when an infected individual defecates or urinates. If these eggs reach fresh water, they can hatch and release snail-infective schistosome stages, which effectively completes the life cycle.

This parasitic worm can be deadly – and it’s coming to Europe
Millions in developing countries are affected by these parasites – and climate change means they could become a global threat. Can new research offer hope?

Sounds like another wonderful natural creation to thin the population. As the world becomes smaller I think these type of problems will continue to rear their ugly head and create medical issues that we had thought were eradicated. Thanks for the post PO3 (Join to see)

Perhaps the German Train System can remove all the toilets and leave just the hole (a la Turka). That should make them feel more at home too.
