Nasty question but I've always wondered this about public toilets?

Question

If there's p**p or blood in toilet from someone else(at the bottom of the bowl) and you use the bathroom and the water splashes up and touches you or goes inside your private area, Can u catch something? I'm probably just a weird germaphobe, but I've always worried about that

Answer 1

I'm not an expert or anything...but there might be the smallest chance that it may affect you, because normally when people go into the bathroom, they look into the bowl first and then flush if needed to. so to not even notice the bowl being dirty first not likely...however, if someone had HIV or something, MAYBE it can affect you, but i don't think there is enough to do that.

Answer 2

there might be the small chance.. just flush before you go. durrr. xD

possible, but it would have to be so rare as to actually be unheard of.

P.S.

Doc is right, use paper towels and feet on all the surfaces you have to touch in the bathroom, when you can.

Answer 7

Your absolutely right you could catch something so fush befor you use a public toliets. The next dirtiest thing is the fauscet handel and then the door handel when leaveing the rest room.

Paper towels

Answer 8

First flush it first, As for HIV, unless there is fresh blood on the seat and you have a cut, the odds are not possible. For other things, the odds are still extremely low. Since most viruses of the sort you are worried about have limited lifespans outside of the human body. Either way Flush first.  

Answer 9

i always flush it before i use it if it already has stuff in it

Answer 10

just flush the toilet before you use it and you wont have to worry about it anymore!

Answer 11

The possibility exists. Becareful!

Answer 12

It's not worth worrying about. Your v****a has built in protections against infection, such as pH and discharges.Usually these work fine, and when on occasions something goes wrong, you won't require the toilet seat to get an infection. Yeast spores and bacteria are ubiquitous (that means they are everywhere).
