A member asked:
How long would ecoli live in sink and blocked up sink water? would you be contaminated if got splatted by water?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: A small number of E coli bacteria are present in tap water almost everywhere. E coli can stay alive in water for a long time. Getting splashed by the water in the sink does not pose a health hazard. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex. Get HPV vaccine
