E coli: is ubiquitous. Small numbers are present in your tap water. Do not worry about E coli on toilet seat, your colon is loaded with e coli.
Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/.
Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!
