It’s called toilet plume.
A toilet plume is the invisible to the naked eye, cloud-like dispersal of raw, infectious sewage particles as a result of flushing a toilet. Flush particles rapidly rise out of the bowl and several feet into the air after flushing. Aerosolized droplets can remain suspended in the air for tens of minutes between users, posing an inhalation risk. These invisible particles go on to coat and spread onto surfaces like floors and counters or objects like hand towels, bathmats, or even toothbrushes.
How about we quantify how dangerous the farticles are first, before we decide how useful closing the seat is? Who cares how many invisible particles it stops if they turn out to be harmless?
Also it’s good for your immune system to get exercise.
Houses are too sterile these days.
Dont even get me started on how coddled the modern anus is.
The modern American anus. Americans seem to be obsessed with arse germs. Those weird little paper covers for the toilet seat, for example. How is that keeping you safe? Good grief.
It’s not it just makes you feel better that you’re not sitting on a seat that was just sat on by some sweaty acne puss filled buttcheeks.
Haha oh I’m one of those , in airports. I just get grossed out. Otherwise I’m fine.
