Toilets seats, despite their reputation, are not that dirty. It’s perfectly fine to plop down on these thrones bare-bottomed like 43 percent of poll-takers do. There are germs there (like the fecal bacteria E. coli), but it’s highly unlikely that you’ll catch anything from the dreaded potty. Your butt’s formidable first line of defense, i.e., your skin, keeps the germs from entering your body. (You do still need to wash your hands.) Actually, as we never tire of telling people, eating lunch at your desk may be worse for your health that using public toilets. Microbiologist Charles Gerba, Ph.D., found that the typical office desk harbors around 400 times more bacteria than the average john seat.
