레위기 11:43의 Halakhah
אַל־תְּשַׁקְּצוּ֙ אֶת־נַפְשֹׁ֣תֵיכֶ֔ם בְּכָל־הַשֶּׁ֖רֶץ הַשֹּׁרֵ֑ץ וְלֹ֤א תִֽטַּמְּאוּ֙ בָּהֶ֔ם וְנִטְמֵתֶ֖ם בָּֽם׃
너희는 기는바 기어다니는 것을 인하여 자기로 가증하게 되게 말며 또한 그것을 인하여 스스로 더럽혀 부정하게 되게 말라
Contemporary Halakhic Problems, Vol VI
"…you shall not defile yourselves with them, that you should be defiled by them" (Leviticus 11:43). A person must guard with much caution and alacrity against anything that possibly enters into the category of detestable [creatures], especially in these times when the atmosphere and terrestrial areas have all become polluted.

Contemporary Halakhic Problems, Vol VI
"You shall not make yourselves detestable with any swarming thing that swarms and you shall not defile yourselves with them…" (Leviticus 11:43). [The Torah] included in this negative commandment things that swarm on the ground, winged swarming things and things that swarm in the water. What are things that swarm in the water? Those small creatures such as worms and leeches that are in the water and exceedingly large creatures that are animals of the sea.

Kitzur Shulchan Arukh
You should accustom yourself to move your bowels in the evening and in the morning because this habit is conducive to vitality and cleanliness. If you are unable to do so you should walk four amohs and sit and stand and sit [repeating this procedure] until you move your bowels; or you should divert your thoughts from other matters. If you delay going to the lavatory you transgress the prohibition of bal teshaketzu.1“Do not make yourself detestable.” See Leviticus 11:43. However if you delay until you find a suitable or decent lavatory, it is not considered a transgression. And if you delay urinating when you feel the urge you also transgress the prohibition against bringing about sterility.2See Deuteronomy 7:14.
