A member asked:
Can someone catch herpes if one forgets to wash hands after using the restroom and come brush their hands across the side of your face?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Herpes infections are not transmitted that way. Sometimes, diarrheal illnesses can be transmitted by unwashed hands (after pooping or using the restroom) that touch the face (mainly touching the mouth and nose, because the diarrheal germs have to enter the body).
