Residents of a neighborhood next to the University of Arizona say small white rats have been swimming through sewer pipes and into their toilets.

In one sighting, Wastewater Management officials said a woman saw a rat in the toilet, left the toilet seat up and put down sticky trap paper in the bathroom. Then she closed the bathroom door so the rat couldn’t get into the rest of the house.
Once the rat got stuck on the paper, she threw it away.

The Pima County Health Department said it’s best not to handle or touch a toilet-surfing rat.

Handle it? As in touch it ? Are they kidding, oh my gawd!
I can tell you, if this happen to me, I would just die! Just reading it freaked me out.

It freaks me out too. I couldn’t imagine finding one in my toilet. I’d never be able to sit there again and that would be a big problem.

Used to hear stories about that same sort of thing happening in the older base housing in Hawaii. Kinda scary when ya think about it. It’ll definitely make you look twice before plopping your butt down on the toilet seat!

I’ll pass, thanks!  That’s already TMI for me!  I’m the biggest pansy EVER when it comes to rodents.  If I opened the toilet lid, and one peeked out at me… I’d have the big one!

If a little rat came up out of the toilet while I was on it I think I would faint and fall off!  I guess Martin would find me later with my pants down. ....that is just disgusting.
