A member asked:
Can you get sick from touching inside a public toilet sink for seconds if the public toilet had ecoli in the toilets? can you get ecoli contamination?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Little or no risk: This is theoretically possible but very rare. If you wash your hands promptly after touching the inside of the toilet, you will be protected. If for some reason prompt washing wasn't possible, the risk still is very low. Don't worry about it.
