Is the public toilet infected with sexually transmitted diseases?

The American Public Health News website published an article recently pointed out that the "public toilet infection with sexually transmitted diseases" is simply impossible, because a strong surface like a toilet is not conducive to the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. However, the reporter interviewed Li Yuanwen, director of the Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Oriental Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, and found that this problem has been controversial in the academic world, because cases of sexually transmitted diseases through toilets are not uncommon in the clinic. 85% of sexually transmitted diseases are transmitted through close sexual contact. Others are transmitted through blood, mother or baby, and media transmission is an important way. In medical textbooks, there have been cases of syphilis transmission through bathing or toilets.

In fact, we often find a similar phenomenon in life: if a public toilet has both a squat toilet and a toilet, there is always someone standing in line waiting for the captain. Some people also saw the toilet in the shopping mall, and they were wondering how to solve the problem of intimacy and not intimate contact with the seat cushion, but found that some predecessors had stepped on two black footprints on the front - the seat The formula is changed to è¹².

Worried about infectious diseases is a common concern of these people. Even in the United States, 74% believe that toilets can spread sexually transmitted diseases. Director Li explained that the pathogen of sexually transmitted diseases adheres to the dander of the skin. If the sexually transmitted disease patient touches the toilet, the dander may fall off and touch the surface of the toilet, and the next person directly touches the toilet, which may cause sexually transmitted diseases. More critically, these bacteria have a long survival time, gonorrhea bacteria can live for 24 hours, and sexually transmitted diseases virus is longer, 2 to 3 days. However, herpes, which has a marked upward trend in incidence, is present in the genitals as well as in the buttocks, so the contact surface with the toilet is larger.

In general, bacteria and viruses of these sexually transmitted diseases die when they exceed the body temperature and 80% humidity. Therefore, in a regular public place, if disinfection and cleaning are guaranteed, there will be no problem. Of course, the awareness of self-protection is also there. First of all, you should develop a good habit of washing your hands before you go, because sexually transmitted diseases can be transmitted to other parts of the body through your hands. If you use your contaminated hands to rub your eyes, your eyes will also get gonorrhea. In addition, the gasket can be wiped with a paper towel when it is placed on a public toilet, and a wet tissue having a disinfecting function is better. Also pay attention to the public toilets do not touch around, to ensure that the hands are clean. Disposable toilet seats can be used if possible.
