Men touch it, women wipe it...same thing... Forget about the toilet, imagine all those who touch blow their noses or clean their sweat with bare hands and make you a sandwich afterwards in the coffee shop, restaurant or anywhere else... Even if they wore gloves, they don't remove them while doing other stuff... Better let your immune system build itself or live in paranoia... And have a desinfection gel in your bag...just in case...
OnlyLiveTwice: I spent 6 months in a commune in my youth. That was long enough to prove that, when it came to bathrooms, women could be dirtier and messier than men. I'm not kidding, it was gross.
That is true. Not all but a lot of women using a public restroom are pigs.
The thing people might not realize is that when you wash your hands do not turn the faucet off with your clean hands. Use a paper towel.
When you leave the room, do not use the doorknob to open the door, pull your sleeve down to turn the doorknob. If you have short sleeves on use a paper towel. If you can reach the trash can throw the paper towel in otherwise you have to carry it until you see a trash can.
Going to the grocery store is a nightmare. The handle of the buggy has germs. There are wipes you can use to clean it but then you wander around the store picking up things to look at the nutrition label. Someone before you might have done the same thing and had a serious germ on their hands.
Then you put your groceries on the conveyor belt. The clerk loads them in a bag, you hand her cash or a credit card. If it's a card she hands it back to you with germs and you put it in your wallet. Even if you put the card in a reader there might be germs in the reader from the previous customer.
If you have a sanitizer in the car use it before you go home. If you don't you'll touch the steering wheel, door handle, doorknob of your house and then you proceed to put groceries in cabinet and fridge. Before I put groceries away I wash my hands. If I didn't I could transfer germs all over my house.
You might stop for coffee or a cold drink before you go home and maybe a donut Don't touch that donut. Hold it with a napkin and enjoy.
The point is, even though you wash your hands in the restroom you need to be careful in keeping those hands clean because the very next thing you touch could have serious germs that could make you and your family very sick.

All valid points. I think it's time people started wearing gloves again. Put them on when you go out, dispose of them when you return. Don't touch money with your bare hands, the stuff is filthy.
Some people don’t wash there hands, I was in Walmart heading to the washroom , this lady came out the washroom, and headed straight to the door I’m like eww and had the whole washroom lit
