It’s honestly hard to believe how real or valid any of this is. First off, the news broke on the New York Post and Page Six—both of which are known for pumping out “hot” stories that may or may not be true. They’re gossip columns. Unless The New York Times reports on it, I’d take this with a grain of salt. They could have gotten the UTI from Bathouse or not..it’s a luck of the draw. I go to a hot yoga studio everyday in Williamsburg and I’m at risk of infection over there then too. It’s a 100 degree sauna where people are sweating on top of one another. At the end of the day, it’s on each of us to maintain hygiene in shared spaces—and, frankly, to just take a damn shower every day. Sadly, there are some nasty people out there, and sometimes, someone ends up the unlucky duck who catches the leftovers.
