When it comes to butt contact with strangers they have never met, many people's first reaction is: dirty.
From a bacterial point of view, yes. A study of public toilets showed that there are indeed many intestinal-associated pathogenic bacteria (such as norovirus, E. coli) on the toilet seat, and these pathogenic bacteria can survive on the surface of the toilet seat for a long time.
But don't panic!
These pathogenic bacteria have a common feature: through fecal-oral transmission. Just relying on the contact of a small piece of skin on the buttocks, there is no need to worry about being infected.
Instead of feeling that the toilet seat is dirty, it is better to insist on washing your hands before and after the toilet.
In addition to bacteria, will public toilets transmit sexually transmitted diseases? After all, the toilet seat will directly touch the private parts.
In fact, there is no need to worry.
Many pathogens related to sexually transmitted diseases (such as syphilis) are difficult to survive outside the human body.
In addition, sexually transmitted diseases are mainly transmitted through sexual contact, mother to child and blood. Although the probability of in vitro transmission exists, it is very low.
If you get an STD from using the toilet, it means:
It just so happens that the last person who used the toilet had an STD;
It just so happens that the person leaves fresh and profuse semen or vaginal fluid (normal excretion is difficult to do);
It happens that the genitals or wounds come into contact with these pathogens.
If it does happen, it will be a "big luck" event that requires extreme skill and luck.
