I understand the idea of fomites.
I don't understand why it gets peoples panties in a wad when other people like to be cleanly. It's not like I ask you to do any of the work, and I specifically ended my post with "To each his own."
You are welcome to sit on the toilet and poop how you want, and I'll continue to clean mine off, and cover it with TP.

All I am saying is that you're germaphobia is misplaced. It is a
psychological and not an
actual danger. I am saying that you spend a LOT of effort cleaning and covering your seat, however, you do not disinfect every doorknob you come in contact with, or put on a rubber glove before you pick out the dollar bills from your wallet. The following two items have been proven to be FAR dirtier than a toilet seat, and yet it is the toilet seat you are afraid of. It is like someone being afraid of house cats, but they are perfectly happy to handle a wild rattlesnake or a brown recluse. Yes the cat COULD scratch you, and there is a very remote possibility that the cat MIGHT have some unknown disease. But 999 times out of 1000 a house cat is going to be harmless. Whereas the chances of you getting hurt handling a wild rattlesnake or brown recluse is far greater, yet you are happy to do so without a second thought.
Not trying to change your mind, just explaining to you the psychology behind it as I see it, and that's it.
