Is Infection Transmission Possible Through Toilet Seats?
I was wondering if I could contract something from a toilet seat if there was menstrual blood on it. I have IBS with diarrhea and well I can t squat when I need to go poop so I was in such a urgency to go. All the other stalls were busy so I could not Wait. I noticed a small drop of blood on the seat and wiped it off with TP put a toilet liner on it and sat down. Only thing is the liner well it don t stay in place so when I got up I noticed the part that the blood I wiped off was not covered with the lining. I m a phobic person cuz I have gotten Staphylococcus Bacterial infection from a toilet before so I freak out on any little thing. I did wipe the blood off the toliet and I did try to line it with the toilet liners so am I still at risk of catching something?

Hi,
Better to avoid filthy public toilets because of bad hygiene and cross infection. Take Norflox TZ 1OD for 15 days to prevent infection. Maintain hygiene.
