Can you catch hepatitis c from a toilet seat ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: People do not catch hepatitis C from a toilet seat or any other part of a toilet. Many times, people who have hepatitis C don't know where they caught it from. The types of hepatitis that one can catch from a toilet seat are A & E. That is because types A & E viruses are in the poop, poop splashes onto toilet seats, people touch toilet seats with their fingers, and fingers touch mouths.
