A member asked:
How likely is it for shigella to be passed on a sex toy if someone uses it anally, wipes it gently afterwards, and then about 8 hours later someone else uses it?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Most but not all bacteria will be dead after 8 hours. A gentle wipe will not kill all the bacteria, but a sterilization or sanitization will eliminate transfer of bacteria.
