Can you cite a single sickness that was caused by someone who flushed the toilet with the lid up, and then washed their hands, or someone who used the toilet after someone who did so, and then washed their hands?

Yeah I know all about the clickbait article that was posted here a few months ago but my response is the above question. I think the dangers are highly overstated.

Everybody should know not to eat off of the toilet seat. And wash your hands after using the bathroom.

I agree. I've seen a couple of studies demonstrating that we all walk around through feces clouds anyway on city streets as well as in the countryside.

When my teenager was about 6, she once ate a bright blue cotton candy flavored ice cream cone. The next morning, I heard her go into the bathroom and about a minute or two later, she screamed for me saying "Mommy, come here, there's something wrong".

I knew exactly what it was before I got up there....

My wife had red poops for about three days in a row and never mind herself, she made me look. The toilet paper was bright red. She was worried it was a serious issue but I was pretty sure it was hemorrhoids. She walked out of the bathroom with a huge smile on her face and gave me a hug when it returned to normal color.

That happened to me after eating a bag of black licorice.

Can I interest any of you in this place's Pandan Flan?

https://www.yelp.com/biz/terdi-art-bakery-san-jose-2

Technically, Terdi is a correct English word for Earth. So a natural type California thing. But, unfortunately for our undoubtedly first generation would be entrepreneurs, they're selling to a marketplace of juvenile delinquents like me who immediately think....Turdy Art Bakery....what level of hell is this?

Relax, I wouldn't steer you wrong. It's just a yelp review place of a bakery that I suppose is fine.

How is this observation different from weighing yourself, BP, cholesterul, or any other periodic monitoring?
