Flushing after closing the lid is actually hygienic.
May I interest you in a (not toilet) paper I skimmed back when Covid was still a bigger issue? https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0013318
In another, newer, paper (again, not the toilet kind of paper) I just found, researchers basically used lasers to see and analyze the spread of aerosol plumes after flushing: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-24686-5
I am not interested in your (not toilet) papers. I've been doing fine so far and I believe that the health benefit is negligible and does not outweigh the impact on my quality of life.
In other words sometimes ignorance is bliss and knowledge can be a curse, I'm not trying to be a neat freak germaphobe.
Ignorance won't save you when that one lucky e coli lands on your toothbrush at just the right time. My parents survived leaded gas just fine, doesn't mean that shit's safe.
Seriously. Is this guy just like openly pro-poop? Cause it really sounds like he's trying to spread some poopraganda.
I'll see myself out.
Coproganda
Well, you might be doing fine so far. How about others who walk into your poop-plumes? Hygiene is not always only beneficial for yourself. Some easy to implement practises can go a long way. I think it's a similar story to how we (should) regularly wash our hands, wash vegetables and fruits before eating and so on.
