Question 6

lets look at this from another angle, how safe is it to touch my belt after going to the bathroom? i'm concerned about ecoli and i have ocd. this affects my quality of life. it's not about urine

Accepted Answer

Safe?: If you are just doing a no 1 and then touch the belt, i don't see any risk in catching e coli.  If you sits on a public toilet with a disposable cover, consider using a piece of toilet paper or your foot to flush the toilet. This may apply to bathroom door handles as well.  However I am more concerned with catching a viral infection than e coli.  Given the ocd, carry hand sanitizer with you.
