A member asked:
My friends kid was cleaning up dog poop and got some on my towel possibly and then i used my towel on my full body after shower will i be exposed to germs ?

Certainly. Any germs on the towel could end up on your body. Poop is especially rich in E.coli and yeast. However, the skin surface is rather successful in limiting the trouble chance contact would cause. Wipe your mouth with it and problems would be more likely but casual toweling is not likely to be an issue.
