Jingthing Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Yeah you could use wet wipes for the toilet seat as well, but that's not what I use them for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rak sa_ngop Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 One way to reduce the risk of 'catching something from the toilet seat' is to try and use the toilet cubicle which has the least number of visitors. Human psychology dictates that when presented with a row of empty toilet cubicles, most people will never use the first cubicle but choose one of the further cubicles. I have applied this principle since at school and have never caught anything from a toilet seat. Honest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Deerhunter Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Is that how you got your name ? Itchybum?....lol This taken from internet article.......... Yes, there can be plenty of bugs lying in wait in public restrooms, including both familiar and unfamiliar suspects like streptococcus, staphylococcus, E. coli and shigella bacteria, hepatitis A virus, the common cold virus, and various sexually transmitted organisms. But if your immune system is healthy, and if you adopt simple hygienic measures like handwashing, you should be able to deliver a knockout punch to most of what you encounter and perhaps put your "germ-phobia" to rest. Steering wheels, telephones, computer keyboards & PC mouse etc probably have as many or more germs than an apparently cleanish toilet. Wipe it down. Use it, wash hands, forget it. If the toilet is gross, find another one. There is usually one that is passable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchybum Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 Either you have different habits than me, but I do not wipe my todger on my steering wheel, telephone, keyboard or mouse.....it is the drippy todger syndrome concerned about here.....and some not so drippy ones.

manarak Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I hate when I drop chips, and the splash comes up on my behind. Advice: put 2-3 sheets of paper in the water, prevents splashing 90% of the time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super22k Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Quatting is said to be the best way to clear your bowels. Not the civilised sitting on seat. In one country area they have a dustbin kind of thing that only gets emptied when it is nearly overflowing. One guy slipped on the stone floor and fell into the whole bag of tricks.......head first!

Mudcrab Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Why do you think that Thais stand on the toilet seat and squat? Try it sometime and then pick yourself off of the floor coated with whatever! It's no use standing on the seat ! The crabs out here can jump six feet ! Any more ditties out there ? an oldie: Tread gently when you enter here six million sperm, are dead, dried up upon the floor!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Robert Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 First, Mr Itchybum, I hope it was one of the designated toilets you were sitting on and not one on display in the bathroom section. Second, I contracted and STD once, in the same HomePro, but it went away after some treatment. My GF said I should never use the same public convenience again if thats how you get it.

Jingthing Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) You definitely can't catch HIV from sitting on a toilet. I'm so relieved I do not believe that. Blood...open sores...pimples on bums... Then don't believe it. However, as far as HIV is concerned, you cannot acquire HIV from toilet seats (or swimming pools, hot tubs e.tc.) and this is considered a myth. http://aidsvancouver.org/what-we-do/helpline/online/hiv-transmission-toilet-seat Edited October 5, 2013 by Jingthing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawker9000 Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 You definitely can't catch HIV from sitting on a toilet. I'm so relieved I believe that's undoubtedly true (that you can't catch HIV from a toilet or toilet seat). Urinary tract infections, which can present like STDs, I'm not so sure about... I do not believe that. Blood...open sores...pimples on bums... Then don't believe it.

wpcoe Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 You definitely can't catch HIV from sitting on a toilet. But you can catch HIV while sitting on a toilet, just not from the toilet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jingthing Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) I sent an email to MythBusters. Sure thing. I'd like to see them roll their eyes when they get yet another such inquiry. I really don't get your obsession about a fear that is so utterly ridiculous. This kind of question was valid ... 30 years ago ... long before the science of the etiology of Aids was well understood.

SOTIRIOS Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 I would be more worried about catching something off a tap or door knob that has been used by a hygienically challenged predecessor. I am, I touch as little as possible. The floors are very often impeccable but if you look up the walls a little, the layers of muck become quite inspiring. I never saw anyone cleaning taps. ...or a keyboard or mouse.....or in a taxi....or mass transit..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faranguy Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Argghhhh... nightmares about water snakes sneaking up for a knack snack or Klingons from Uranus looking for a warm place to lay their eggs. Seriously though, did you ever wonder where rats go after they nose dive into a Bangkok gutter hole.

Blood...open sores...pimples on bums... Please, find us one confirmed case - would love to see it! Aids is not easy to catch at all unless you are sharing needles/getting infected blood transfused or having unprotected sex with an HIV-carrier. This is all a wind up, is it not? If not, there's a -phobia out there with your name on it. Edited October 5, 2013 by mrdome 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
