After washing your hands in public restroom do you touch door handle

[resistanze]

Plenty of single guys clean their bathrooms less than a public restroom does. So, even in a friend's house you can not be so sure who has or has not washed their hands or who else has been in there. And anyone with kids knows their habits are not always the best.

You seem to be missing the point. The sheer volume of people who use a public washroom increases the chances that some that are carriers of infectious pathogens. It's not simply a case of not wanting to handle things in a public washroom because poo is 'icky.' It's because fecal-oral transmission of pathogens is the primary cause of outbreak for illnesses such as Noroviruses (the #1 cause of stomach flu in the U.S.). Heck, the number of times the common cold on the flu has been transmitted due to contaminated surfaces is probably not even quantifiable.

You can't compare private restrooms to public one because of that reason. There's only so much illnesses you can be exposed when at someone's dwelling any one time, so even your worst-case scenario of the dirty bachelor doesn't compare. Personally, I encounter public washrooms much more than washrooms at a guest's home, but even then I practice good hygiene.

Easy brah, don't piss on your hands.

It's just a door handle, I open it as long as it ain't got on it. It's bad enough we breathe in lots of fecal matter throughout the day anyway, what is a door or two? There's germs everywhere.

+1 i dont piss on my hands or touch the urnials



...what happen the paper release handle (it must have germs) or if it automatic the paper is sure to have germs on it.

After washing my hands I will use a paper towel to open the door. Prop the door open with my foot and tosh the towel in the trash. If no paper towel is available, I will use my pinky finger to open the door.
