Am I at risk of any diseases?

[Anonymous]

So this is gross but long story short, my hand my have come into contact with someone else's pee. I was wiping off a toilet and well, yeah. I was so grossed out but I could not hold it and that was the only one open.

I immediately washed my hands with soap and water after. Was that enough? I'd prefer having gloves in that situation, but of course I didn't. Guess I should put a pair in my purse just "in case" for the future. I just want to make sure I'm ok since I washed my hands after.

It's unlikely that you would contract any diseases from this type of contact with urine. However, it's important to always practice good hygiene and to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after any potential exposure to bodily fluids or other contaminants.

If you have any concerns or experience any symptoms such as skin irritation or infection, it's recommended to speak with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance. In general, it's always a good idea to carry a small bottle of hand sanitizer or a pair of disposable gloves in case of unexpected situations where hand hygiene may be difficult to maintain.

Soap kills stuff on your hand (virus/bacteria/fungi...) and as you washed your hand its safe.

You are more likely to catch an infection touching a phone or pc keyboard, or the inside of your fridge, ... there are thousand of places more infected with bacteria than a toilett.

You’re fine, especially since you wash your hands off right away and you didn’t put your hands in your mouth 😊 you’re not going to get any infection of any sort

yes, you're at risk for all of them, just like everyone else
