This sort of event has an understandable "yuck" factor, but it really is not dangerous at all. Just wash the area with soap and water. Nothing will happen (and probably would not even without washing).

You are not likely to suffer any adverse effects of sitting on a soiled toilet bowl seat. I would definitely wash with soap and water, but you should be fine. Good luck.
