Is it true that i can get a bacteria infection from a toilet seat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely....: It would be possible to acquire a bacterial infection from a toilet seat (or other inanimate object), but it would be unlikely. Some bacteria survive on surfaces like toilets and could possibly infect an open skin sore, but this would be an uncommon / unusual mode of spread for most infections.
