How to avoid catching a disease from public toilets

The dreaded place of questionable smells, dark tiled walls and the harshest toilet paper you’ve ever used in your whole life. Welcome to public toilets.
The thought of how many people have sat on the same toilet seat, and how many people have ‘forgotten’ to wash their hands on the way out makes most of us shudder. The real question is what diseases are we vulnerable to when using public toilets?

If you are still concerned about what could follow you out of the public toilets, then here are some tips to survive:

1. Make sure you wash your hands thoroughly after using the toilet
2. Carry a travel size antibacterial hand sanitizer for extra protection
3. Cover the toilet seat with toilet paper or use antibacterial wipes

It may seem like common sense, but those really are the best tips for keeping germs at bay. 

There are more germs on the floor of a public toilet than the toilet seat itself, so just keep your contact with the floor minimal and you will survive the emergency use of a public toilet. Hang up those handbags!

There is no medical evidence to support the transmission of any diseases from a public toilet. 

Practice good hygiene, and your immune system will do the rest. So take your time, relax and do your thing.
