A member asked:
Can ecoli travel to other objects in the bathroom if someone flushes the toilet with the lid open?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: how violent or forceful is your toilet? most e. coli will spread by conatct and poor hand washing. keep a bottle of hand sanitizer gel handy in addition to bacteriocidal hand soap.
