Can you get an infection from toilet water splash back?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Toilet Water: Theoretically if you got it in your eyes or mouth (assuming the toilet water was not flushed). But it's not likely.

Not problem for men: Unlikely problem for women unless they are sitting with thighs widely separated whilst splashback occurs. Always best to wait until you get up from toilet seat before flusing. No way it can be problem for men.
