But is that really that hygienic, especially in public ones?
“When you flush the toilet, water with feces and urine sprays about six feet in every direction,” says Reynolds. And the aerosols increase with every flush, so if it’s a public bathroom, there is dirty toilet water coating literally everything — especially the toilet paper dispenser, because it’s right next to the toilet bowl.
Any surface that the aerosols settle on can transmit things between people, says Reynolds, so every time you set your phone down, it becomes contaminated with germs and fecal matter. Not to mention that it’ll pick up whatever the last person placed on there, says Gerba, which could’ve been dirty toilet paper, used sanitary pads, etc. You really never know."
