What bacteria which is capable of living on porcelain also has the ability to enter your bloodstream through the skin of your butt cheeks? I once was told that seat to butt transmission of most things almost never happens and that the biggest danger in a public stall is touching the toilet paper dispenser and then touching your face.
I’m a microbiologist, I pee sitting down only if I am able to sanitize the seat.
Imagine knowing how your pee spreads all around if you stand and pee - only to deicide to stand and pee.
Better then getting someone else’s skin biome on my butt. Who knows what sort of fucked up commensals they have?
Well so far I have 0 arse cheek diseases so I’m not especially concerned
so far
Nah but seriously it’s just an ick factor for me. Probably a result of living with my greasy and terrifyingly hairy housemate.
You’re not worried about splash?

I am prone to licking public toilet seats, so I must clean them before that happens.
