A member asked:

Can you get ingest any hepatitis from using toilet paper (from a public bathroom) for your nose considering peoples germs/stool particles fly around when flushing? had bad allergies and couldnt help it. thank you so much in advance?

No, because to get infected with hepatitis, you need a very great amount of virus, which even when they could be on stool, is not enough to induce the disease

No. What you described does not put you at risk of getting hepatitis. 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 and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!
