She Thought It Was Just Toilet Paper, but It Turned Into a Horrifying Surprise!

A new unsettling claim is making the rounds again. It’s been said that intravenous drug users are cleaning off their used needles by stabbing them into toilet paper rolls, leaving behind traces of blood and skin. This shocking rumor has caught the attention of many, and the latest story even comes with supposed photographic proof.

A blog post on Hawaii Mom Blog warns readers to check toilet paper rolls in hotel bathrooms. According to the blog, the author has been aware of this rumor, often considered an urban legend, but recent photos circulating online show small red marks on toilet paper rolls in public restrooms. This time, the blogger claims to have witnessed it firsthand.

In her blog, she writes, “I was recently in Tulsa, and upon checking the toilet paper in both of our hotel room bathrooms, the below is what I found. Red marks on both toilet paper rolls that appear to be blood. Of course, I was disturbed and grossed out. I immediately took the rolls off and replaced them with the unwrapped rolls (which I did check). I also notified the staff and took pictures, and they were very apologetic. Although I can’t say for sure what the marks are, I can only guess they are indeed blood stains from needles. Now I know – check the toilet paper even in hotel rooms!”

This isn’t the first time stories like this have circulated. Social media, especially TikTok, has seen numerous videos warning people to check for such marks on toilet paper in public places. However, not everyone is convinced. Websites like Ladbible have pointed out that health experts find the claim highly improbable. Many argue that a needle’s tip would likely break off if it were to pierce a toilet paper roll, rendering it an ineffective way to “clean” a needle.

Despite the skepticism, the fear remains real for those who have seen the images or had similar experiences. Whether or not the claims are true, it’s easy to understand why some may now feel cautious when using public restrooms or staying in hotels. The sight of blood-stained toilet paper is enough to make anyone uneasy.

Still, major health organizations suggest that the likelihood of someone using a toilet paper roll for this purpose is slim. They encourage the public to maintain a level-headed approach and not jump to conclusions based on rumors. “While TikTok videos filled with warnings are out there, according to the Ladbible website, several health organizations agree this is extremely unlikely because the tip of the needle would most likely break off if you tried to stab into toilet paper.”

In the end, what you choose to believe is up to you. These stories, whether urban legends or genuine cases, have sparked curiosity and fear. If anything, they serve as a reminder to be cautious, but also to approach such claims critically. You now know the latest rumor, and whether you take it seriously or not is entirely your choice.
