Everybody worries: Everybody worries after a trip to a public bathroom. Of course, we cannot live our lives inundated with bathroom fears. It depends on what others might be doing in the bathroom, what a person touches in the bathroom, whether or not there are specific outbreaks in the area, what a person did or "did not wash" after using the bathroom, etc... In general, there's a little worry, but not a lot.
